S-Gate

Business messaging: campaigns, codes and replies, from one API.

Send marketing and notification texts and one-time codes from your own numbers, follow every message to delivery, and receive replies, from the Orbit console or the API. Coming soon.

01

What S-Gate does

Send

Text and picture messages from your numbers to one recipient or up to ten, from the console or with one API call.

  • Marketing and notification texts
  • A client reference on each send, so a retry never sends twice
  • The segment count of every message, shown with the send

Verification codes

Send one-time codes for sign-in and checkout by text through the same API. A managed code flow, with expiry and attempt limits, is coming soon.

  • Codes by text through the send API
  • Managed codes with expiry and attempts: coming soon

Delivery reports and replies

Every recipient's status — queued, sent, delivered or failed — in the message log and pushed to your webhook, with incoming replies sent the same way.

  • Signed webhooks, with retries
  • A message log in the console
  • Replies grouped into conversations

Opt-out and limits

STOP and the usual opt-out words unsubscribe a recipient from that number, with one confirmation; START brings them back. Sending to an opted-out number is refused.

  • Per-account and per-number sending limits
  • Monthly usage in the console
02

Numbers

Turn on messaging for the phone numbers you already have on Orbit, choose which ones send, and register US long codes for business messaging from the console. YunZheng Voice numbers message each other across the platform.

03

API

A REST API with Orbit API tokens: send, read the message log, manage numbers and opt-outs, and receive events for delivery status and incoming messages on your account's webhooks.

S-Gate is a business SMS API of its own: send text and picture messages, receive delivery reports and replies by webhook, and handle opt-outs, from the Orbit console or the API.

Can we send verification codes?

Yes, as texts through the send API. A managed flow that creates and checks codes, with expiry and attempt limits, is coming soon.

How much does it cost?

Prices are published when S-Gate opens. Messages between YunZheng Voice numbers on the platform are not counted.

Is there a version for personal texting?

Yes: YunZheng Messages, texting from your own number in the browser and in the YunZheng apps, is built on S-Gate.
