This API function sends an SMS containing text from the specified account and shortcode to a recipient’s mobile number. If the aggregator allows masking longcode/sender with some brand or string, from_mask can be set in the API. from_mask is limited to 11 characters beyond which it will be cut-off. 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.
