Dialer

Send a pre-recorded message to a user's phone number and receive a result that will let you know if the message was delivered.

This service is asynchronous

This service includes two POST request:

  • Initial request - defines which message to send and to what phone number. This request will also return a template with a unique token that should be submitted in the status request.

  • Status Request - a request with the template and token from the initial request to retrieve the status of the call.

You must provide the audio file

Provide your Veratad representative with the audio file you want to be delivered. You can have as many audio files as necessary. Once you have provided the audio file then Veratad will provide you with that files unique name which you will send as part of the initial request in the message attribute.

Please see the section below called "What types of audio files are acceptable" for a full list of file types.

As part of this process you are also validating the number the user provided since the service will not send to invalid phone lines.
