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.
