send-text-message

To send an SMS text message, you call the Textbelt API endpoint with a request body containing the recipient phone number and the message text. This routes your text payload to US, Canada, or international numbers.

You can check SMS delivery status by querying the Textbelt status endpoint with the unique textId returned from your original message request. This tracks whether the text reached the recipient successfully.

Yes, you can include optional webhook data and sender name metadata when sending text messages. This allows you to capture delivery receipts and replies, routing status updates directly to your specified webhook URL.

Sending SMS messages through Textbelt enforces an 800-character limit on the message body and disallows URLs within the text content. Messages exceeding this length or containing links will be rejected by the API.

Yes, the Textbelt SMS API supports sending text messages to both US/Canada and international phone numbers. You simply provide the valid international phone number format in your API request body.

Your SMS text message may have failed if the payload exceeded the 800-character limit, contained disallowed URLs, or lacked a valid phone number. Check the textId status to verify the delivery error details.
