Send SMS over Email

In addition to HTTP Request, SMS messages can be sent also by delivering a JSON formatted e-mail message to an e-mail address.

Note

Sent messages are billed according to Eventio’s price list and contract.

To:

The e-mail message should be sent to <recipient>@sms.eventio.com, where <recipient> is the actual GSM number.

Subject

The e-mail message subject is ignored.

Body

The message body should contain a JSON formatted string with following fields:

body	Actual SMS message body.
api	JSON object with API credentials, where key is the API key and pwd is the shared secret.
to	(optional) JSON array of recipient numbers if same message is to be sent to multiple recipients. Overrides the recipient number given in the e-mail message’s To: field.

Examples

To send an SMS “Test message” to number +358403110565.

To:	+358403110565@sms.eventio.com
Body	{"body":"Test message","api": {"key": "<API KEY>", "pwd": "<SECRET>"}}

Notes

• Eventio does a sanity check on the given recipient numbers, removes duplicates and silently skips invalid numbers that cannot be parsed to an international format.
• Depending on the length of the SMS body (text), one message can be considered as multiple messages (>160 characters) and billed accordingly.
