How the wire-up works
Three things to know: the protocol, the credential, and what the alert payload looks like. The setup is the same on free and Pro.
- Protocol
- sms
- Credential
- Vonage API key + API secret + a Vonage-provisioned FROM number. Each subscriber supplies their own number when they opt in.
- Payload
- Vonage SMS API with body '{monitorName} is {STATUS}: {errorMessage}'. Channel reports transient failures and retries within the configured cooldown.
