Configuration
To configure VoIP Innovations we must follow a few simple steps, but first we must check that we have everything we need to create our provider and its campaign.
Required
Have an account with VoIP Innovations and access to it
Have a contact number enabled
Login to uContact with permissions to create SMS Providers and SMS Campaigns
1. Set up account
Set up the webhook for VoIP Innovations to receive the messages in uContact.
All you need is the following route:
https://<instance>.ucontactcloud.com/Integra/resources/InboundSMS/VoipInnovations
That route it's a POST type
2. Get access parameters
Inside your account will see two parameters
api_key
api_secret
That’s the information you need to create the provider in uContact
3. Create provider in uContact
Now we enter uContact with a user who has permissions to create SMS Providers and SMS Campaigns
Once inside, we go to Administrator -> Providers -> SMS
Here we see a drop-down menu called SMS Providers, by clicking on it the list of compatible providers is displayed, we select VoIP Innovations
Once selected we complete the fields
Name (to identify the Provider)
Username (api_key previously obtained in step 2)
Password (api_secret previously obtained in step 2)
SMS From (the phone number it will be used)
Messages per second: Limit of messages that will be sent by this provider per second.
Messages per second If it is 0, it does not limit the number of messages that can be sent per second.
4. Create SMS campaign
