Connecting an MTarget Channel
MTarget is a French messaging platform with direct connections to mobile operators, used by more than 3,000 clients. Connect a service you have with MTarget to send and receive SMS in France and internationally.
Before you start
You'll need an MTarget account with a service set up for two-way SMS, along with its service ID and your username and password. MTarget's developer page describes its SMS API.
Adding the channel
Go to Settings > Channels and click New Channel. Mtarget is under SMS & Voice, or you can type its name in the search box.
Then fill in the form:
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Country | The country your service is in |
| Service ID | Your MTarget service ID |
| Username | Your MTarget username |
| Password | Your MTarget password |
Click Add Channel.
Finishing setup
Once the channel is added, its configuration page shows a receive URL and a status URL. Ask MTarget to set them for your service ID, so that messages and updates on whether your messages were delivered reach your workspace.
You can come back to these at any time from the channel's page.
Considerations
Contacts must be able to stop receiving your messages, e.g. by replying "STOP", and how this works depends on the country you're sending to. MTarget's developer page explains your obligations.
Messages are sent as plain text, and long messages are split into several. Any attachments are sent as links.
