REST API for Messaging Now Fully Documented

The SignalWire Messaging REST API is now fully documented and ready to use, giving you a direct, programmatic way to send messages, manage compliance, and monitor delivery all from a single API.

The documentation covers three key areas:

  • Send a Message: Create and queue outbound SMS or MMS messages. The API automatically determines message type based on the presence of media or the send_as_mms flag. Supports status callbacks, so your system can receive real-time delivery updates.

  • Redact a Message: Clear the body of a previously sent message for compliance or privacy purposes. Works on messages in terminal states (delivered, undelivered, or failed).

  • Message Status Callback: Receive a webhook payload each time a message transitions to a new delivery state. The same payload shape is used across the REST API, Relay SDK, and SWML send_sms callbacks, keeping your integration consistent regardless of how you send messages.
