Automation Guide for Bloo
1. Overview
ClickSend is a multi channel business communications platform that offers SMS, MMS, Voice, Fax, Email, Post Letter and Postcard. This integration helps to send automated messages from apps when something happens.
2. Prerequisites
- You need an active ClickSend account to use this integration. You can sign up at https://dashboard.clicksend.com/#/signup/step1/.
| Note: ClickSend PricingClickSend is a pay-as-you-go service. There are no monthly fees or contracts.New accounts receive a small amount of free trial credit on signup. This is enough to test a few messages only.Once the trial credit is used, you must top up your account balance before any more SMS messages will send.Free trial and paid accounts have the same features. The only difference is the credit balance.If your balance runs out, SMS messages from Bloo will stop sending. ClickSend returns an INSUFFICIENT_CREDIT error in that case. |
You will need your ClickSend API credentials to configure the integration. To find them:
1. Log in to your ClickSend dashboard.
2. Click API Credentials in the top right corner of the dashboard.
3. Note your API Username and API Key. These are used to authenticate API calls.
For more details, refer to the official ClickSend API documentation: ClickSend REST API v3 — Developer Documentation
| Warning: Sending to US Phone NumbersThe 'from' field in the payload below uses a text-based sender name (called an Alpha Tag).Alpha Tags are NOT supported for sending to US phone numbers. If your recipients are in the United States, the message will fail.For US recipients, you must use a registered phone number (TFN or 10DLC) as the 'from' value instead of a text name.Source: ClickSend Help — Choosing the right Sender ID. |
