Messaging APIs Built for Your Applications
Connect your applications to SomLink messaging and send notifications, alerts and verification codes automatically.
API overview
Messaging, built into your product
The SomLink SMS API lets your software send SMS messages without anyone pressing “send”. When something happens in your system — a payment, an order update, a login attempt — your application can message the customer straight away.
Our team works with your developers during onboarding and shares the technical documentation and access details for your integration.
