ClickSend Integration

Send Text and SMS Messages from ClickSend
PageGate can be easily configured to pass messages through ClickSend's service by using ClickSend's REST API to pass HTTP POST requests. Here's what you'll want to do:

1) Run PageGate Admin.

2) Right click Carriers, select 'Add'.

3) Set the following:
Name: ClickSend
Protocol: HTTPPOST
Host: rest.clicksend.com/v3/sms/send
Port: 443
MaxChars: 2000

4) Click Apply

5) Go to Carriers - ClickSend - Advanced

6) Enter your ClickSend login ID in 'Username'.

7) Enter the API key you generated in 'Password'.

8) Click Apply.

9) Go to Carriers - ClickSend - Template

10) Specify the following in the 'Text' section:
|Content-Type|application/json|

{
"messages": [
{
"to": "+1%RecipientId%",
"source": "sdk",
"body": "%Message%"
}
]
}

11) Click Apply

Now that we've told PageGate how to communicate with ClickSend, you'll need to add recipients you want to message. Here's how:

1) In PG Admin, right click Recipients and select 'Add'.

2) Give the recipient a name.

3) Set the 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.

5) Click Apply.
