Features
Customizable Signatures
An SMS signature placed before the message content serves to identify the company or business sending the message. The company name, product name, website address, brand name, WeChat Official Account or Mini Program name and their corresponding abbreviations can be used in the signature.
Message Body Templates
The body of a message can contain a verification code, system notification, member marketing description or other content. The template can be customized with parameters (variables) to create personalized messages. The templates for China Short Message Service (CSMS) and GSMS can be used interchangeably.
Message Delivery
Once the body template and message signature are both approved, you can send messages via the console, Cloud SMS API or SDK.
Status Notifications
Once a message is sent, you can check the delivery status (success or failure) and the actual number of fragment messages in the console (variable parameters present in the message body template may impact the final number of fragment messages).
Unauthorized Usage Prevention
Tencent Cloud GSMS features alarms for excessive message traffic on each calendar day. As soon as the number of messages sent by a user in one single day exceeds the preset volume, the system will trigger alarms that notify the predefined alarm recipients, helping to reduce or avoid losses caused by potential unauthorized usage.
