The SOAP protocol SMS Gateway API allows XML-based messages to be exchanged using HTTP/HTTPS. SOAP is the foundation layer of a web services protocol stack that provides a basic messaging framework to build other abstract layers on. |

Why application developers choose Clickatell’s SOAP Protocol API:
Batch SMS Sending and two-way text messaging:
- Batch sending of SMS text messages. This facility enables high volume delivery and server-side message merging. It offers the end-user the ability to define all elements common to a batch, and then send only the parameters that change on a message-by-message basis.
- Two-way SMS text messaging, facilitated with the SOAP protocol, allows greater interactivity options for customers and their users. Token Pay functionality is enabled for ‘spend a voucher’ campaigns.
- Clients can specify the features that they need in the application.
Delivery guarantees:
SMS developers gain access to gateway escalation and priority level
queuing options with Clickatell's SOAP protocol. They are also able to
delay text message delivery for up to 7 days. Customers can query network
coverage as well as SMS message status for both inbound and outbound messages (push and pull).
