Description

The following describes the processes involved when sending bulk event notifications.

A bulk event notification consists of a JSON object populated with a list of: 

   - payload (the content of the notification)
   - internal id (an identification id specified by the requester)
   - delivery date/time
   - delivery method

Field Validations

payload

  • Required - The content of payload cannot be empty, otherwise the notification will be considered invalid.

internalId

  • Not Required - This field is here as a way for a requester to track their notifications being created.

deliveryDateTime

  • Not Required - This will default to the current date/time if not provided, hence the notification will be scheduled to be sent right away.
    • Date/Time Format: yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss
      • Example: 2015-01-01T14:01:00

deliveryDestination

  • Required - The destination must match the format associate with the delivery method.
    • Phone Number - The phone number can contain formatting, but the maximum number of digits is 10. This cannot be used, if a method of EMAIL is specified for the delivery method.
      • Example: 333-222-4567 resolves to 3332224567
    • Email Address - This must be a valid email address. This cannot be used, if a method of SMS is specified for the delivery method.
      • Example: abc123@alphabet.com

deliveryMethod

  • Required - The method by which the notification will be delivered. The list of acceptable values include:
    • SMS - This is case insensitive and will specify that the notification is to be delivered via text messaging.

Prerequisites

1 This API call requires Vendor-level credentials. The credentials should be populated into the applicationId and applicationPassword fields of the auth block: 

 {
   ...
   "auth": {
     "applicationId": "vendorId",
     "applicationPassword": "vendorPassword",
     "accountId": "",
     "userId": ""
   }
 }

2 This API call requires a Practice/Account-level identifier. The identifier should be populated into the accountId field of the auth block: 

 {
   ...
   "auth": {
     "applicationId": "vendorId",
     "applicationPassword": "vendorPassword",
     "accountId": "practiceId",
     "userId": ""
   }
 }
