Working with SMPP

Working with our SMPP server requires a little configuration at user part, on your server if you are using kannel sms gateway as smpp client then specifying url, port, username, password and alt-charset=UTF-8 should be enough to get you from most of the parts but when using dedicated smpp client software, please make sure that the following configurations should be adopted for sending sms, any other value may lead to generation of error.

The delivery-report for messages sent can be obtained using transceiver or receiver session bound to smpp server.It is important to mention that the maximum numbers of sessions bound to smppserver should not be more than two (Transmitter-Receiver or Transmitter-Transceiver) so as to allow maximum usability of smpp service and avoid any time lag.

Working with Http API

Our Server allows to send campaigns messages either single message at a time or bulk messages in one go using http request post method where campaign parameters should be specified in request body of post method.

How WebPanel Works..???

After getting user account from us, you can go to our website and start campiagns by following these steps:

● Click on login option on top right corner of navigation bar, which will land you to WebPanel Login screen.
● Supply your username & password in required fields, after credentials verification, you'll land to dashboard page, which contains all your account information like account balance, details of last campaign pushed, list of last few campaigns.
● To create campaign, we provide 4 different types of campaign standards, namely, Simple, Bulk, Schedule and Template campaign, click on Campaign Management option in top navigation and select start campaign from the menubar on left side.
● By default simple campaign page appears, you can choose other campaign types according to your desire by selecting campaigntype from the menu, Simple campaign type allows you to manually write phonenumbers or select the group of numbers already created by you. Type in campaign name, campaign type (Promotional, Transactional, Transcrub) (Note: Transactional and Transcrub campaigns require pre approved 6-digit Alpha-Numeric SenderId), write message, add recipients or choose group and click send. Our system will give you information for total characters used, number of messages setup (as general standards only allow 160 characters in single message body), and also if the message content is in language other than plain english (message limit changes for non english characters).
● In Bulk campaign type, you can upload file of recepients (accpetable format is excel and csv), following rest of procedure as that of simple campaign and then just shoot campaign.
● In Schedule Campaign, you can provide date and time for the campaign to start, without manual hustle to login and shoot campaign, we can manage that for you (Not: It is worth mentioning that, schedule campaigns requires file of number to be uploaded to setup campaign)..
● The Template Campaign allows you to use pre-approved template text to be used to send message to client. This type of campaign can be of most useful when your are running business that requires immediate dispatch of information data to its clients with specific type of text to be used..

Now there are several other options other than just creating campaigns, you can check for the campaign reports for the campaigns submitted by you, download detailed reports for the campaigns, create new clients under your name (this feature available in resellers account), create templates, groups of people according to your client types, so you don't have to worry about manually adding phone numbers when setting up campaigns, and can exclusively manage your clients account without our intervention. All this makes up webpanel easy to use and manage without any hassle or any sort of expertize in technical knowledge.
