I'm trying to trigger SFMC REST API to send SMS from Postman. Below is the steps:

  1. Created a Outbound SMS content in Mobile Connect (with the following properties)

    • Template type: Outbound - API Triggered
    • Next Keyword: OPTIN
    • Message: Hello world message
    • Message Status: Active/Scheduled
    • API Key: xxxx
  2. Trigger SFMC REST API using Postman client

    { "mobileNumbers": [ "85296xx57xx" //My HK number ], "SendTime": "2018-12-11 04:08" }

After performing the above steps, I still not able to receive the SMS. Is there a way to troubleshoot this?

    Is the number opted-in to the keyword? Are you able to send to that Contact normally in MobileConnect?

  • @RSuri make sure your recipient is opt-in for the SMS. Go to the Contact Builder > All Contact to check for it.

  • @WenHao, thanks for your response. contact has been added manually and source column is showing manual. what else is needed to resolve this. Are keywords required for this?
