Procedure for sending SMS via FTP
The files must be uploaded to the FTP, in the SEND_SMS directory.
Files must be in CSV format with a semicolon separator and delimited by inverted commas (standard CSV file format, encoded in UTF-8). Any other CSV file format will be rejected.
File formatting:
- Campaign name, consisting solely of letters and numbers, with no spaces or special characters.
- Dispatch date in YYYYMMDDHHIISS format (e.g. 20200716120000 for dispatch at 12 noon on 16 March 2020)
- Sending quality (HQ for High Quality, the only quality available today)
- Multiple send option (MULT, messages to the same telephone number will then be concatenated)
Warning: If the file name does not correspond to the correct format and is not a temporary file, the file will be declared invalid and moved to the INVALIDS folder.
Formatting files sent by FTP
The file uploaded to the FTP server must contain 2 columns.
The first column corresponds to the telephone numbers in international format (+336 for France, +32 for Belgium) or 06xxxxxxxx/07xxxxxxxx for French numbers.
The second column contains the message (160 characters maximum) to be sent to the corresponding number.
The third column will contain the sender of the message if this has been entered.
Example of correct content: ‘33671717171’; ‘SMS content’; ‘Sender’.
Test our service
We recommend that you first test our FTP web service with FileZilla software.
Configure a new site in the FTP site manager, connect and send a well-formatted csv file to the SEND_SMS folder.
Wherever possible, we also recommend using the secure SFTP protocol.
