Navigate to SMS Management

Add an SMS provider​

  • Log into your Vodia Tenant portal.

  • Click Trunks on the left menu then SMS Management

  • Under the Providers tab click the [+ | Add] button

  • Complete the information.

  • Name: Provide a name (for your purposes)

  • Provider: Select Skyetel

    note

    Skyetel uses HTTP Basic authentication built from the username and password you enter here. Generate SMS API credentials in the Skyetel portal — consult the Skyetel documentation for the exact location.

  • Click [Save].

Add your SMS numbers​

Now you need to add your DIDs into the Numbers tab.

  • Under the section SMS Management (Trunks on the left menu then SMS Management)
  • Click the Numbers tab and click the [+ | Add] button.
  • Provide a name (for your purposes)
  • Enter your phone number in E.164 format (e.g., +12025551234).
  • Policy: If you have any policy in place, choose it. (optional)
  • Provider: Choose the provider name you have created.
  • URL prefix for receiving messages: Enter something you will use for your SMS callback URL. Eg: skyetelinbound
  • Source: It could be your extension number.
  • Destination: It could be your extension number.
  • Click [Save].
note

Vodia strips the leading + from numbers when sending to Skyetel, so store your numbers in E.164 (+) format in Vodia.

Configure the Skyetel inbound webhook​

To receive SMS and MMS messages, configure Skyetel to deliver inbound messages to your PBX. In the Skyetel portal, locate the inbound SMS / webhook settings (consult the Skyetel documentation for the exact location) and set:

  • Webhook URL: Your PBX URL with the prefix you specified above, for example: https://your-pbx-domain.com/skyetelinbound
  • Format: JSON

Vodia expects the inbound payload as JSON containing from, to, and text. For MMS, Vodia downloads media from the media URLs; recognized types are JPG, PNG, and PDF.

Outbound messages are sent to https://sms.skyetel.com/v1/out (the source number is passed as a query parameter). MMS is sent by including a media array.

Your Skyetel SMS integration is now configured and ready to use.
