Send a Message

Send a text message using Send Text Message API:

curl -X POST \
  https://api.amio.io/v1/messages \
  -H 'authorization: Bearer {{organization_access_token}}' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
        "channel": {
          "id": "{{channel_id}}"
        },
        "contact": {
          "phone_number": "{{phone_number}}"
        },
        "content": {
          "type": "text",
          "payload": "Hello world!"
        }
      }'

You will need to replace the placeholders {{organization_access_token}}, {{channel_id}} and {{phone_number}}.

• organization_access_token - Go to Settings - API and copy your secret access token.
• phone_number - Phone number with an international prefix.
• channel_id - Find Channel ID in the detail page.
