Send SMS from your ERP via REST API
Your ERP already knows when an order ships, an invoice is due, or a delivery is on its way. A self-hosted gateway lets it text the customer about it — one REST call, sent from your own SIM and number, with replies pushed straight back.
Your ERP already has the trigger
Every meaningful customer event lives in your ERP: a sales order is confirmed, stock is dispatched, a payment clears, a service is scheduled. The hard part was never knowing when to message someone — it was getting the message out without bolting on an expensive messaging contract. A gateway you host closes that gap. When the event fires, your ERP posts the recipient and the text, and the paired phone sends it within seconds.
One REST call, or no code at all
If your ERP can make an outbound HTTP request, sending is a single authenticated POST — recipient and message body, nothing more. If you would rather not touch code, point an existing ERP workflow or notification webhook at a no-code ingress URL instead. The ingress maps the fields your ERP already sends into a ready-to-deliver message, so business users can wire up alerts without a developer. Either way, the full request and response shapes are documented in the REST API reference.
What teams send from the ERP
- Order & dispatch alerts — confirmations, packing and shipped notifications with tracking details.
- Invoice & payment reminders — due-date nudges and receipt confirmations from your accounting module.
- Delivery windows — "out for delivery today" and reschedule prompts from logistics.
- Service & appointment reminders — automatic prompts that cut no-shows.
Replies come back into your workflow
Outbound alone is half a channel. When a customer answers — "yes, reschedule" or "wrong address" — that reply is captured and pushed to your endpoint as an HMAC-signed webhook, so your ERP, CRM or helpdesk can act on it automatically. See the inbound webhook guide for the payload shape and signature check.
Why self-hosted
Because messages go out through your own SIM, you keep your number, avoid per-message aggregator markup, and never share a shortcode with strangers. The gateway runs on hardware you control, and API keys issued at pairing can be rotated whenever you need. To connect your first workflow, start with the quickstart.
