ShortMessageService Delivery Notification Subscription API Description

API Description

• With the “SMS Delivery Notification Subscription” API, customers can create subscriptions for receiving delivery notification on the requests sent.

• The consumer ID in the request gives the identity of the consumer for which call back notification subscription to be enabled.

• Upon successfully creating a subscription, the API will provide an event subscription ID, and it will indicate the subscription’s expiration date.

• After delivering the SMS, the event subscriber will be notified back to the provided notification URL given by the subscription-request.

Use Cases

The SMS Delivery Notification Subscription API could be useful in scenarios such as:

• Proactive handling of scenarios/actions based on the delivery status (delivered/not delivered) of SMS.

• Reliable subscription notification from the API provider would help API consumer in keeping a record of messages/count sent vs. delivered which could be useful in bill validations.

Benefits

• Enhanced customer experience: With message delivery subscription, the consumer of SMS API would know upfront whether the SMS is sent successfully or not and basis that provide user experience proactively rather than after a pre-defined interval. For e.g. resend One Time Password (OTP).

• Leaner reconciliation process: Consuming success/failed messages status would help API consumers to refer/validate the bill/charges raised by API provider.
