Send a message
Creates a new message object. MessageBird returns the created message object with each request. Per request, a max of 50 recipients can be entered.
- STICKY VMN
- Sticky VMN's are only available in the US, Canada, Netherlands and United Kingdom. Because there are no capacity limits in other countries, you won't need multiple VMNs.
Whether you're using a pool of dedicated VMNs or our shared VMN pool, you'd like the recipient to always receive your messages from the same VMN as a sender. Our Sticky-VMN-as-a-Sender service makes this possible. Simply use inbox as the originator when sending messages to our API. This will tigger our system to select a random VMN(dedicated or shared - depending on what's available) for the first message and ensure that the selected VMN be reused for all following messages.
