How do I use the campaign create API methods to send SMS

If you haven't already first review the general overview of using the create and send campaign methods to send messages via API in the docs here:

• https://support.xtremepush.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003156185-Campaign-Methods#create 

To create an SMS you will need to add an SMS message in your post params when calling the create method parameters used in SMS message content are listed below: 

Parmeters

Example

There is sample Post Data below for creating an SMS message. The channel sms is turned on with "sms":1 , the SMS type 9 is added to the messages object with params for the sms content.  In this example "broadcast":1  is used to target your entire available user base, conditions that target a subsection of your audience, and scheduling and other options can be added as described in the general overview of campaign methods. In this example a personalisation tag has been added in the SMS text to pull in the users' first names.

 
URL = api/external/create/campaign

POST_DATA ={"apptoken":"YOURAPPTOKEN",
"title":"Email Example via API", 
"sms":1,
"broadcast":1,
"messages":{ 
"9":{"sms":{
 "from": "xtremepush",
 "text": "{{first_name}}, check out our SMS API test"
}}}}

 Your resulting SMS from above would look something like this one:
