Connect your application to the SMS4U Gateway and send messages from your CRM, ERP, online shop or custom software. Choose the integration method that fits your technical requirements.
Messaging within your workflow
An integration allows your application to initiate SMS messages through the gateway. It can support customer updates and other communications that you want to trigger from your own software, subject to the integration you implement.
Available connection methods
HTTP / WEB API
Connect software to the gateway through HTTP requests using the service’s technical instructions.
SMPP
Use the SMPP protocol where it suits the application and messaging infrastructure.
Mail2SMS
Send through an email-based workflow. See the Mail2SMS service.
FTP-based sending, known as ftp2sms, is also listed among the gateway’s available connection methods. Contact us to discuss the appropriate configuration for your use case.
Preparing your integration
- Describe your software and the messages it needs to send.
- Select the connection method with your developer.
- Obtain the account details and technical instructions for that method.
- Test the message content, recipient formatting and response handling.
- Move to your operational workflow after the integration has been checked.
Frequently asked questions
Is every CRM or e-shop supported automatically?
The gateway provides integration methods. Your application needs to support the chosen method or be adapted by a developer. This is different from a ready-made connector for every software product.
How long does setup take?
It depends on the application, the connection method and the checks required. Agree the scope with your developer before estimating the work.
Where do I find request formats and account settings?
Contact SMS4U for the instructions relevant to your connection method. Use the documented settings for your account when implementing the integration.
