New items

smsPULSE 5.0.2 64 bit

After a break since release 4.5 of smsPULSE we are pleased to announce the release of a Windows 64 bit version of the server.

MMS Tests

You can now test our MMS server using the MM1 protocol right here from the smsPULSE site. You may send us images from your cell phone or ask our server to send you images. To receive messages you have to be logged in. At the moment the feature is not restricted but if abused restrictions will be implemented.

Please remember that MMS messages take longer to send so you do not need to send repeat messages... your messages will arrive. Needless to say you must have a phone that is able to receive MMS.

Test inbound MMS
Test outbound MMS

Dynamic support for Notes client forms

With this version the latest smsPULSE forms in sms.OUT will work on both Notes 8 clients and above, and older version of Notes. Please note:

  1. smsPULSE 5 native forms use a feature introduced in Notes 8 and cannot be used in Notes 7 or older clients
  2. If you use Notes 7 client or older, the form you see on the right will be used instead, automatically
  3. All features are available on both versions of the forms
  4. Server functionality and the smsPULSE API are not affected

The new V5 forms are different in that they require no popups and include new tabs.

API change

The API now allows for a "replyTo" field which will be used by smsPULSE to send failure messages to a destination of your choice. This is particularly useful when SMS messages are sent mostly by applications and not people, where failures need to be directed to individuals for examination. Please see also the new and related system profile item, which performs the same function, but does not require an individual value set for each document.  See below.  For the API click here

System-wide email address on SMS failures

You can now specify a single email address where all failed SMS messages will be directed to. This only applies to messages which are e-mailed to smsPULSE. To see the system setup see here
