Connecting a MACROKIOSK Channel
MACROKIOSK offers SMS alongside WhatsApp, Viber, LINE and other channels through a single API. Connect a number or short code you have with MACROKIOSK to send and receive SMS with your contacts.
Before you start
You'll need a number or short code from MACROKIOSK, along with the sender ID, service ID, username and password it gives you. MACROKIOSK doesn't publish these online, so ask your MACROKIOSK account manager for them.
Adding the channel
Go to Settings > Channels and click New Channel. MACROKIOSK is under SMS & Voice, or you can type its name in the search box. If your workspace's timezone isn't Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, check Show other regions to find it.
Then fill in the form:
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Country | The country your number is in |
| Number | Your number with its country code, or your short code |
| Sender ID | The sender ID MACROKIOSK gave you |
| Username | Your MACROKIOSK username |
| Password | Your MACROKIOSK password |
| Service ID | The service ID MACROKIOSK gave you |
Click Add Channel.
Finishing setup
Once the channel is added, its configuration page shows two URLs to give MACROKIOSK, so that messages and delivery updates reach your workspace:
- The Inbound URL, which messages sent to your number are sent to.
- The DLR URL, which updates on whether your messages were delivered are sent to.
You can come back to these at any time from the channel's page.
Considerations
Messages are sent as plain text, and any attachments are sent as links. Long messages are split into several.
