Other SMS Integration

These procedures show you how you integrate SMS service to your contact center system.

Setting Up SMS via SMS 365 Integration

  1. Set up SMS 365 account by adding a callback URL, contact center user name and password.

    You need cctrusername, cctrpassword, and the callback URL (http[s]:// cctrusername:password@smsserverlocalhttpserverip:port/messaging/sap365/sms) from the contact center. It should be via proxy or directly pointing to SMS Server in Infrastructure Administrator > SMS Server > Local HTTP Server Address. You define this in the step 2.

  2. Define the following SMS Server variables in Infrastructure Administrator (IA):
    • Local HTTP Server Address

    • Local HTTP Port

    • Local HTTP Certificate (optional)

      If HTTPS in not used then certificates are not necessary. But if you use HTTPS, the certificate name should be same as the server address (IP address or domain name)

    • Choose one of the options below for HTTP Proxy Policy:

      Named: Give the HTTP proxy address in the HTTP Proxy Name field

      Automatic: the proxy setting will be taken from the Internet options of the HAC user

      Default Proxy: Retrieves the static proxy or direct configuration from the registry. This option is deprecated in OS win 8.1 and newer.

      No Proxy: No proxy is used.
