Configuring ClickSend

ClickSend's service provides a REST API to pass HTTP POST requests to send text messages. To do so, you'll need to create a ClickSend account and generate an API key. Once you have those, you can proceed with the setup in PageGate!

Be sure to complete your 10DLC registration process with them!

 
Step 1: Configure ClickSend as a carrier in PageGate

1)Run PG Admin.

2)Right click Carriers, select Add

3)Specify the following:

4)Click Apply to add the new delivery method.

5)Go to Carriers - ClickSend - Advanced

6)Use your ClickSend login ID as the 'Username'.

7)Use the API key you generated as the 'Password'.

8)Click Apply.

9)Go to Carriers - ClickSend - Template

10) Specify the following in the 'Text' section and click Apply:

|Content-Type|application/json|

{

"messages": [

{

"to": "+1%RecipientId%",

"source": "sdk",

"body": "%Message%"

}

]

}

Step 2: Create Recipients tied to the ClickSend method of delivery

1)Right click Recipients, select Add.

2)Give the recipient a name.

3)Set 'Carrier' to: ClickSend

4)Enter the phone number with no spaces or dashes.

NOTE: ClickSend requires that all phone numbers be passed in international format (example: +17818290500). In the carrier template above, we have provided an example that includes the +1 country code for the US.

If you are outside of the US or are messaging internationally from within US, you will want to remove the +1 from the carrier template and include the country code in the ID/PIN field
