Configuring SMS Eagle

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

 
Step 1: Configure SMS Eagle 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 - SMSEagle - Template

6)Add the following to the 'Settings' section:

SubjectDelimiter = :

StripNonPrintable = True

7) Set the following in the 'Text' section:

|content-type|application/json|

|access-token|Access Token (API key) generated in SMSEagle's web-GUI|

{

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

"text": "%Message%"

}

8)Click Apply.

Step 2: Create Recipients tied to the SMS Eagle method of delivery

1)Right click Recipients, select Add.

2)Give the recipient a name.

3)Set 'Carrier' to: SMSEagle

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

NOTE: SMSEagle 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
