Send to Distribution Lists (or Group Send)

Our gateway allows you to send SMS messages to preconfigured Distribution Lists or Groups. To send to a Distribution List or Group simply insert the Group Name were you would normally place the recipient's phone number. Distribution Lists or Groups are setup in your online account login on the Contacts page.

Reply Tracking:

The IntelliSoftware platform provides tracking of SMS replies, allowing you to determine which particular message a mobile user is replying to. When you submit a message to the SMS Gateway you can supply a User Context parameter. When a reply is received, the IntelliSoftware platform will included the User Context parameter when forwarding the message to your server.

The User Context can be supplied to the IntelliSoftware platform in the following ways:

.Net Component use SendMsgWithUserContext method
COM Component use SendMessageWithUserContext method
HTTP Interface add 'usercontext' POST/GET parameter
SMTP Interface (Email to SMS) add 'UserContext:' parameter
PHP SDK use SendMessageWithUserContext method
Java SDK use SendMessageWithUserContext method

The IntelliSoftware platform will forward the User Context for received messages in the following ways:

HTTP Interface 'usercontext' POST/GET parameter
SMTP Interface (SMS to Email) User Context appears in Subject line

Resilient Service:

For resilience, we run a backup gateway at www.intellisoftware2.co.uk that should be used if the primary gateway fails. You should provide functionality in your code that will switch to the backup gateway should the primary gateway fail. This functionality is already incorporated in the IntelliSMS COM and DotNet Components.
