Parameters
securityToken
– String[1000] (Required) – SecurityToken to authenticate the user.
templateID
– int (Required) – active Template ID of the message to be sent.
orgCode
* OrgCode – String[20] (Required) – Organization Code of the Group .
* List <CustomFields> (Optional) – Customfields contains collection of key – value pairs.
note

Return Value
WSMessageResponse
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Result | bool | True/False whether the call was successful or not. |
| ErrorCode | int | For Success/Failure it will generate an error number |
| Message | string | Message related to the error code |
| TransactionTicket | string | ID created from message; this can be used in the ‘Get Message Status’ function to check the delivery status of the message. |
| Note | string | Note created from message; this can be used in the ‘Get MessageStatusByNote’ function to check the delivery status of the message. |
Developer Tips
The SendTemplateMessageToOrg method includes an optional Note parameter. The Note field enables clients to pass data in conjunction with a message delivery attempt. When sending a message to an array of phone numbers, the note is associated with all messages in the request.
Examples of Note field utilization include:
- Branch location associated with the customer account
- Customer segmentation identifier
- Combinations of data to uniquely identify the messages sent to customers
If a client Status URL is provided, the Note field data is posted to the client’s Status URL with each real-time message delivery status update.
When the subscriber replies to the message, the Note field data will be posted to the client’s Callback URL (if provided) along with the subscriber’s response in real-time as well.
The Note field can be used with the GetMessageStatusByNote method to retrieve the status of sent messages using the Note data.
In addition, the API response when invoking SendTemplateMessageToOrg() includes a TransactionTicket. The TransactionTicket is unique for that request. The TransactionTicket issued for the request can be used with the GetMessageStatus method to retrieve the status of sent messages using the TransactionTicket.
Example
C#
MessageClient messageResult = new MessageClient("MessageWSServiceHttpEndpoint");
string securityToken = txtToken.Text;
int templateID;
Int32.TryParse(txtTemplate.Text,out templateID);
//Create custom fields
List<CustomField> customFields = new List<CustomField>();
CustomField customField = new CustomField();
customField.Key = txtKey.Text;
customField.Value = txtValue.Text;
customFields.Add(customField);
//Create recipients
List<WSOrgRecipient> orgCodes = new List<WSOrgRecipient>();
WSOrgRecipient wSOrgRecipient = new WSOrgRecipient();
wSOrgRecipient.OrgCode = txtOrgCode.Text;
wSOrgRecipient.CustomFields = customFields.ToArray();
orgCodes.Add(wSOrgRecipient);
string note = txtNote.Text;
string statusUrl = txtStatusURL.Text;
WSMessageResponse wSMessageResponse = messageResult.SendTemplateMessageToOrg(securityToken, templateID, orgCodes.ToArray(), note, statusUrl);
//process response
if (!wSMessageResponse.Result)
{
//handle error
lblError.Text = wSMessageResponse.Message;
}
else
{
//handle success
lblError.Text = wSMessageResponse.Message;
