What is an API?

Application program interfaces (APIs) allow databases and applications to communicate with each other. For example, if a hot tub reseller wants to display the weather from their local news station on their website, they would use an API to request the information from the news station’s weather database to then display on their site. Or maybe you utilize membership database software, and you’d like to send SMS to some of your members without having to leave the software interface…Red Oxygen’s API is the perfect solution.

APIs also add a layer of privacy and protection as the go-between that never allows the two to directly interface with each other.

Red Oxygen’s API SMS gateway consists of a core API, extended API and command API. Together, Red Oxygen can help you reach clients and customers faster than ever while giving your business an extra layer of privacy.

FAQs About an SMS API

Here are a few frequently asked questions about an SMS API.

Have a Question?
What is an SMS API?

An SMS API is a software interface that integrates with your business’s existing systems or applications, enabling text messaging capabilities. The software intermediary allows two applications to communicate and work with each other so you can instantly send and receive messages from any website or computer application.

How do you integrate an SMS API?

An SMS API can be integrated into almost any software or application using a dedicated API code. Integrating the API typically involves connecting one software with another through the programming interface to form a unified system. 

The integration process differs depending on the SMS API provider and the software you use. Red Oxygen offers a seamless and quick integration designed to align with your methods, challenges and functional needs. 

How does an SMS API work?

An SMS API acts as a channel for communication between your applications and the SMS platform. The software connects telecommunication carriers to the internet, eliminating the need for an additional platform or manual intervention to facilitate communication. 

To start using an SMS API, you must integrate the software with your existing systems, such as a CRM, enterprise resource planning (ERP) or other tools. Once the integration is complete, API protocols enable automatic sending and receiving of messages as well as alerting to any errors that occur during the process. 

For example, if a customer fills out a request form on your website, the inquiry goes directly to your CRM platform, which automatically sends an SMS back to the customer with the appropriate response. 

What are the benefits of using an SMS API?
  • Workflow efficiency: SMS API integration allows for the automation of sending and receiving messages, eliminating the need for manual staff management. With automated messages, you can save your team a significant amount of time, which can help improve workflow efficiency and productivity.
  • Visibility and tracking: An SMS API enables you to monitor your messaging efforts. With the software platform, you can see when messages reach the recipients. If they are not delivered, you can take the necessary steps to ensure they make it to their destination. 
  • Flexible features: SMS APIs can be customized to meet your business’s needs and communication strategy. On top of integrating with almost any application you choose, the software has a host of features, such as bulk messages, to help enhance your messaging capabilities.
  • Instant communication: SMS allows you to send messages to targeted users at a greater scale with improved speed. Important messages, notifications or reminders can quickly reach your customers from any device. As a result, your business’s communication becomes faster, more reliable and consistent.
