Sender ID Aliasing

Auto Alias Sender ID Purchase 

The Auto Alias is a feature enabled by the Syniverse API Communication assistant application where customers can automatically purchase a Sender ID  assigning as an alias . The alias feature allows customers to use any alias as a value in the "from" field of a message request and when submitted, the Communication Assistant application calls the Sender ID purchase API and purchases a Sender ID based on the capabilities [SMS, MMS, Voice] and country of termination. Once the purchase is completed, the Sender ID is stored against the Alias.

An Alias could be your real mobile number, a name or a combination of name and number. E.g. John, Inventory-555, or 14085551212.

• Send message with from as Alias instead of senderid

curl -X POST
 -H "Authorization: Bearer d17f79e76e30e7a0f05e6444b0bbc78a"
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"from":"alias:Alias-28776","to":["contact:cVonTugp8dibGXnIPGdo54"],"body":"Hello World to Contact"}'

• Update senderid with Alias:

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer d17f79e76e39e7a0f05e6444b0bbc78a"
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"alias":"Alias-28776", "version_number":"3"}'

To avoid errors while updating senderid with Alias, the current senderid’s version_number must be provided in the API call.

To obtain the current senderid’s version number you can use the API call:

curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer d17f79e76e39e7a0f05e6444b0bbc78a"
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" 
 https://api.syniverse.com/scg-external-api/api/v1/messaging/sender_ids/OfX4r7DeQrh7HXXHyqb5m5

Which returns a response like the following:
