Integrating SMS gateway
An SMS gateway lets you send SMS messages by providing a relay to a telecom network. Synerise can integrate with SMS gateways and help you organize and effectively manage SMS communication.
You can integrate Synerise with the following gateways:
- SMSAPI,
- Smsbiz,
- Materna,
- Infobip,
- TideMobile,
- Twilio,
- Redlink - This integration allows you to use an in-built feature of shortening links. Synerise passes a message with the link in a long form to the gateway and the gateway sends it as a shortened URL. To use this feature, you must enable it by switching the Short URL mechanism toggle on.
Note: Synerise allows shortening links too.

Settings > Apps & Services. - Find the SMS gateway you want to configure and next to the name of the gateway, click Show.
