Integrating an API with the Custom Dev Kit

This page explains the necessary steps to integrate any 3rd party SMS API gateway into MyRSK's PVS Module using the Custom Dev Kit.

• API access credentials for the 3rd party SMS/API gateway
• Knowledge of PHP

• $phone variable will be automatically supplied, and contains the customer's phone number
• $code variable will be automatically supplied, and contains a 4 digit code

• open customdevkit.php file (which can be found in the Layer's PVS Module folder)
• provide the API credentials in the script, this depends on the Gateway provider. Some call them username/passwords, while others give them different names
• provide the content of the SMS message in the $body variable, remember to include the $code variable in your message, as that is the code to be sent to the customer
• build & execute the api request (have a look at example files from your gateway provider)
• log the API Request attempt to help troubleshoot

The example shows how to integrate Clickatell's API using the Custom Dev Kit.
