The short answer: notice texts do not have to be written into your code. Through the API, POST /v1/sms/templates saves a text as a template, PATCH /v1/sms/templates/{id} changes it and GET /v1/sms/templates/{id} reads it. They are the same templates as on the SMS page in Meu MozOut: whoever looks after your communication changes the wording there, and your system starts sending the new wording without anyone touching the code.
The operations
| Operation |
What it does |
Permission |
| GET /v1/sms/templates |
Lists the account's templates. |
sms:read |
| GET /v1/sms/templates/{id} |
Shows one template. |
sms:read |
| POST /v1/sms/templates |
Creates a template. |
sms:write |
| PATCH /v1/sms/templates/{id} |
Changes a template. |
sms:write |
| DELETE /v1/sms/templates/{id} |
Deletes a template. |
sms:write |
|
A template sends nothing. It only keeps the text. Sending is still POST /v1/sms/messages, with the finished text in the text field.
|
The variables a template accepts
Through the API, a template text accepts the sender-side variables: {$client_name}, {$client_first_name}, {$client_last_name}, {$client_company_name}, {$remetente} and {$data}. Any other variable makes the API answer 422. The event data (order number, amount, time) are not API variables: your system puts them into the text.
A simple way to work
| 1 |
Create one template per event (payment received, order shipped, booking confirmed) and keep each template's id in your system's settings.
|
|
| 2 |
Mark the places for event data with something your system recognises and replaces, such as [ORDER NO].
|
|
| 3 |
When the event happens, the system reads the template (or uses a recent copy), swaps the marks for the data and sends with POST /v1/sms/messages.
|
|
| 4 |
Before sending, it checks that no mark is left. If one is, it does not send and alerts someone: a text showing [ORDER NO] looks careless.
|
|
These templates count towards the same account limit as the ones on the SMS page, up to 100. A deleted template does not come back, so your system should know what to do if the id disappears: use a fallback text and alert the team.
|
Reading the template for every SMS uses up requests. Keep a copy for a few minutes and read it again after that. A change made in Meu MozOut still reaches your system quickly, without eating into the request limit.
