Send Text Message

pinpointsmsvoicev2_send_text_message R Documentation

Creates a new text message and sends it to a recipient's phone number

Description

Creates a new text message and sends it to a recipient's phone number. SendTextMessage only sends an SMS message to one recipient each time it is invoked.

SMS throughput limits are measured in Message Parts per Second (MPS). Your MPS limit depends on the destination country of your messages, as well as the type of phone number (origination number) that you use to send the message. For more information about MPS, see Message Parts per Second (MPS) limits in the AWS End User Messaging SMS User Guide.

Usage

pinpointsmsvoicev2_send_text_message(DestinationPhoneNumber,
  OriginationIdentity, MessageBody, MessageType, Keyword,
  ConfigurationSetName, MaxPrice, TimeToLive, Context,
  DestinationCountryParameters, DryRun, ProtectConfigurationId)

Arguments

DestinationPhoneNumber

[required] The destination phone number in E.164 format.

OriginationIdentity

The origination identity of the message. This can be either the PhoneNumber, PhoneNumberId, PhoneNumberArn, SenderId, SenderIdArn, PoolId, or PoolArn.

MessageBody

The body of the text message.

MessageType

The type of message. Valid values are for messages that are critical or time-sensitive and PROMOTIONAL for messages that aren't critical or time-sensitive.

Keyword

When you register a short code in the US, you must specify a program name. If you don’t have a US short code, omit this attribute.

ConfigurationSetName

The name of the configuration set to use. This can be either the ConfigurationSetName or ConfigurationSetArn.

MaxPrice

The maximum amount that you want to spend, in US dollars, per each text message. If the calculated amount to send the text message is greater than MaxPrice, the message is not sent and an error is returned.

TimeToLive

How long the text message is valid for, in seconds. By default this is 72 hours. If the messages isn't handed off before the TTL expires we stop attempting to hand off the message and return TTL_EXPIRED event.

Context

You can specify custom data in this field. If you do, that data is logged to the event destination.

DestinationCountryParameters

This field is used for any country-specific registration requirements. Currently, this setting is only used when you send messages to recipients in India using a sender ID. For more information see Special requirements for sending SMS messages to recipients in India.

  • IN_ENTITY_ID The entity ID or Principal Entity (PE) ID that you received after completing the sender ID registration process.

  • IN_TEMPLATE_ID The template ID that you received after completing the sender ID registration process.

    Make sure that the Template ID that you specify matches your message template exactly. If your message doesn't match the template that you provided during the registration process, the mobile carriers might reject your message.

DryRun

When set to true, the message is checked and validated, but isn't sent to the end recipient. You are not charged for using DryRun.

The Message Parts per Second (MPS) limit when using DryRun is five. If your origination identity has a lower MPS limit then the lower MPS limit is used. For more information about MPS limits, see Message Parts per Second (MPS) limits in the AWS End User Messaging SMS User Guide..

ProtectConfigurationId

The unique identifier for the protect configuration.
