Clickatell's SOAP Protocol is a foundation layer for a web services protocol stack. This provides a basic messaging framework
on which other abstract layers can be built. Use of this API allows XML-based messages to be exchanged using HTTP/HTTPS. Clickatell's
SOAP API uses the XML-based Web Services Description Language to provide a model for describing Web services.
Why application developers choose Clickatell's SOAP Protocol:
Batch SMS Sending and two-way text messaging:
The SOAP Protocol API allows batch sending of SMS text messages. This facility enables high volume delivery and
server-side message merging. It offers the end-user the ability to define all elements common
to a batch, and then send only the parameters that change on a message-by-message basis.
Two-way SMS text messaging, facilitated with the SOAP protocol, allows greater interactivity options
for customers and their users. It enables Token Pay options used for 'spend a voucher' campaigns. Clients
can specify the features that they need in the application.
Delivery guarantees:
Application developers gain access to alternative gateway escalation and priority queuing options with Clickatell's SOAP protocol. They are also able to delay delivery of text messages for up
to 7 days. Customers can query network coverage as well as SMS message status for both inbound
and outbound messages (push and pull).
