Custom Gateway Setup

WSMS allows you to integrate SMS providers that aren’t included in the default gateway library using the Custom Gateway feature.

Step 1: Select Custom Gateway

1. Go to SMS → Settings → SMS Gateway
2. Select Custom Gateway from the dropdown menu

Step 2: Configure API Endpoint

Enter your SMS provider’s API endpoint URL. This is the server address where SMS requests will be sent.

Step 3: Set HTTP Headers

Add the required headers for your API. Common headers include:

Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN

Step 4: Configure Parameters

Define the parameters your API expects as key-value pairs:

Parameter	Description
from:{from}	Sender ID or phone number
to:{to}	Recipient phone number
message:{message}	SMS content

Use the placeholders {from}, {to}, and {message} which WSMS will replace with actual values.

Step 5: Request Settings

Setting	Description
Send As POST	Enable if your API requires parameters in the request body. Disable to append parameters to the URL (GET request)
Encode Message	Enable to URL-encode the SMS content for compatibility

Step 6: Save and Test

1. Click Save Changes
2. Go to SMS → Send SMS
3. Send a test message to verify the configuration
