Send an SMS message
Sending an SMS message with the Messages API can be done with one API call, authenticated using a JWT.
In the example code below you will need to replace the following variables with actual values:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
FROM_NUMBER | The phone number you are sending the message from. |
TO_NUMBER | The phone number you are sending the message to. |
NOTE: Don't use a leading + or 00 when entering a phone number, start with the country code, for example 447700900000.
