Send Saved MMS API

sendSavedMMS

Synopsis:

This API sends stored content from a specified account using an MMSID to a single mobile number.

FROM must be one of the shortcodes allowed for your account. In case the number is from a different country than the FROM shortcode is assigned to, the default shortcode for those countries will be used.

When MMS is sent as SMS, the fallback SMS text and link are sent.

• The fallback SMS text is the text used in place of the MMS subject. You can dynamically change the fallback SMS text by setting up the FALLBACKSMSTEXT node.
• The fallback SMS link is the link that hosts the MMS content. The fallback SMS link may be disabled by passing ‘yes’ to the DISABLEFALLBACKSMSLINK node. In this case only the MMS subject or the fallback SMS Text is sent. By default, we always send the fallback SMS link along with the fallback SMS text or the MMS subject.
• The fallback SMS can be completely disabled by passing ‘yes’ to the DISABLEFALLBACKSMS node. By default the fallback SMS is enabled. If the MMS will be sent as SMS while the fallback SMS is disabled, then the message will fail to send instead.

You can dynamically send custom text for each slide by setting up the CUSTOMTEXT node (CUSTOMTEXT must include mandatory fields: value and slide) and the MMS Subject by setting up the CUSTOMSUBJECT node. Line breaks are supported in the custom slide texts of the MMS.

If “Enforce Campaign Check” is turned ON, then this function will require the campaign reference ID of the messaging campaign that the recipient’s phone number is subscribed into to be passed inside the campaignref node.

Content Transcoding:

Every binary MMS we deliver can be transcoded for the destination handset and every web page we deliver is transcoded for the browsing handset. To transcode a binary MMS we must know what type of handset the user has. We are able to obtain this handset type information from delivery receipts and store the record in a handset cache for later use. We have a database of attributes which we manually match to every new handset in the cache so we can adapt the content during MMS delivery.

Passbook Pass:

This API also supports sending MMS with a Passbook Pass. The pass can be sent as a link by passing ‘yes’ to the FORCEPASSASLINK node.

Personalized Images:

This API also supports sending MMS with embedded Personalized Images. For this, you have to create a Personalized Image Template with merge tag vars in your account and add that to your MMS ID slide on the MMS Composer. You can send the personalized data for this template in the DATA node. Look at the request below to understand. Some additional notes:

• If the Personalized Image Template contains a barcode and the merge tag var is set as “{$barcodeid}”, then the data for the barcode value can be supplied inside sub node under node.
• If the Personalized Image Template contains at least one text area and the merge tag var is set to “{$firstname}”, then the data CAN be supplied inside sub node under node. If no data is supplied to the text areas, then the text areas will be empty/blank upon sending.
• The background image URL in the personalized image supports gif, jpg, and png image file types. The image added in the personalized image will be converted into a jpg file upon sending. If the background image is not a gif, jpg, or png file or if the background image URL is invalid, then the request will fail and no message will be sent. The background image will be resized if the file size is greater than 200 KB or if the width is greater than 640 px. If the dynamic image template already contains a background image, then it will be replaced with the background image passed in the request instead.

Dynamic vCards:

This API also supports sending MMS with embedded Dynamic vCard. The custom Dynamic vCard data can be supplied in the API. Look at the request below to understand. Some additional notes:

• Only one dynamic vCard per request is allowed. A dynamic vCard must have some data added in the request.
• The first and last names of the contact are required in the vCard. The first and last names can only contain alphanumeric, space “ “ and period “.” characters. The request will fail and no message will be sent if the first and last names are not included or if they contain special characters. The rest of the contact information are optional and can be empty.
• Up to four phone numbers, four email addresses, and four physical addresses are supported in the vCard. The request will fail and no message will be sent if the limit is exceeded.
• Currently the labels ‘work’ and ‘home’ are supported for the phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses labels in the vCard. If any other labels are used, then the request will fail and no message will be sent. If no label is added, then the default label ‘work’ is used.
• The photo URL in the dynamic vCard supports gif, jpg, and png image file types. The image added in the dynamic vCard will be converted into a jpg file upon sending since vCards currently support jpg file type only. If the photo is not a gif, jpg, or png file or if the photo does not exist, then the request will fail and no message will be sent.
• The order of the request parameters for a dynamic vCard does not matter.
• Nothing needs to be added in the MMS template in order to send a dynamic vCard.
• The dynamic vCard generated will automatically be attached to the last slide of the MMS upon sending.
