Spotted Dog's Rover Integration

Steps to Use Spotted Dog's Rover with PageGate

Send Text and SMS Messages from Spotted Dog's Rover
Rover supports receiving messages by WCTP and SMTP. This allows you to configure WCTP as a primary method of delivery with a failover method of SMTP/email.

Special Notes:
• Port 443 will need to be open for WCTP.
• To configure the SMTP failover, you will need to know your SMTP server address, port to connect on and required authentication credentials.
