Register SMS channel

Create an SMS channel. If the channel has not opted in yet (the request did not contain opted_in), Airship creates the channel with opt_in set to false and the user receives a message prompting them to complete the opt-in flow; you can assign tags and organize pending channels before the user has finished the opt-in process, but you cannot send messages to channels until they opt in to your audience.

SMS notifications require a sender - a number that recipients will receive SMS notifications from. Contact Airship Sales  or your Account Manager to provision your project for SMS notifications and complete the configuration.

    A Tag Group has two parts: a “name” string of 1-128 characters, and an array of tags, containing 0-100 tags. Each tag in the array is also a string consisting of 1-128 characters.

  • audience objectREQUIRED

    Specifies the MSISDN and sender you want to perform tag operations against.

    OBJECT PROPERTIES
    • msisdn string

      The mobile phone number corresponding to the SMS channel. Must be numeric characters only, without leading zeros. 15 digits maximum.

    • sender string

      A long or short code the app is configured to send from. For example, 12345.

  • remove object<Tag Group object>

    Removes the specified tags from the channel.

Responses

• 200

  Returns OK for success. If a tag request is partially valid, i.e., at least one tag group exists and is active, a 200 will be returned with a warning in the response about the tag groups that failed to update. The tag groups listed in the warning will be CSV-formatted.

  Response body:

  • Content-Type: application/vnd.urbanairship+json; version=3
    OK response

    Returned with 2xx Responses. At a minimum, successful calls return true for the ok key. If your call includes a verbose response (as with GET requests, etc.), the ok key will appear in the top-most object, outside the verbose response.

• 400

  There was a parsing or validation error in the request. Bad Request errors typically include path and location in the response to help you find the cause of the error.

  Response body:

  • Content-Type: application/json
    Error response

    Errors returned with 4xx responses. Errors include as much information as possible to help you understand the reason for the failure.

  Response body:

  • Content-Type: text/plain
    Error response

    Errors returned with 4xx responses. Errors include as much information as possible to help you understand the reason for the failure.

      "my_fav_tag_group3": ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"]
   }
}

Uninstall SMS channel

Removes phone numbers and accompanying data from Airship. Use with caution. Uninstalling an SMS channel will prevent you from retrieving opt-in and opt-out history for the corresponding msisdn. If the uninstalled msisdn opts-in again, it will generate a new channel_id. The new channel_id cannot be reassociated with any opt-in information, tags, Named Users, Performance Analytics reports, or other information from the uninstalled SMS channel.
