Messaging - Add custom template

📘

NOTE:

To add this product to your account, contact a Telesign expert. This product is available for full-service accounts only.

This page walks you step-by-step through how to add a new message template to your configuration for Telesign Messaging, which you can then use to send a message to an end-user with this product. To set up a template for emails, contact our Customer Support Team for assistance.

Steps

1. Decide what you want messages using the new template to look like and do.
2. Decide what variables exist in the template and give each a name using snake case (example: customer_name). Describe what each variable does. Once your template is in place, you will be able to pass values for these variables in each request to the API that uses it.
3. Decide on a name for the template (example: reminder_with_link). You will include this in your API requests to select the new template.
4. (Optional) Create a mockup image showing us what a message using this template looks like.
5. Contact our Customer Support Team to let them know you want to add a custom Messaging template. Include all the details from the steps above. We may ask additional questions or provide you more details about the design requirements we need.
6. Once we have all necessary requirements from you, we create a template and add it to the configuration for your account.
7. We then notify you that the custom template is in place. You can begin sending requests to the API using the new template.
