Connecting to ShortySMS using an API

[billymingione]

Hey everyone, quick question regarding ShortySMS from the Appsumo team. I'm looking to connect Pabbly using an API but I seem to be running into a lot of
issues.

Below is a screenshot of their Oath Page.

I tried using the /contacts Endpoint to add a contact every time I receive a new subscriber using Encharge. I have attached a PDF screenshot below but I cannot seem to get it to work as I get an error each time.

Does anyone know how to set this up properly? I think it has something to do with the Shortysms API endpoint but there isn't any information on the matter and support doesn't seem to know what the issue is.

Thanks in advance,
William

Hey @billymingione

Could you please share the link of API documentation of the application which you are trying to apply in your workflow?

Thanks for replying, I have attached a PDF of the API documentation page for Shortysms. This is all the information that is available, but it doesn't seem like its everything we need, is it?

Hey @billymingione

Thanks for the details, we are currently checking on the API. We will get back to you with an update soon.

Thanks for the information, is this all the information you need? From what I understand we still need an endpoint URL I'm not sure why it's not provided!

Hey @billymingione

We tried to build the API at our end from the API document which you have provided on Postman and it is showing absurd error. Kindly check again with the application's support team for the proper implementation of the endpoint.


Get Method we have tried on Postman -

Thank you, I will reach out to the Appsumo support team.

Thank you for this information!

Does anyone know if this has been figured out yet? I have also had a really hard time including hiring api developers to get pabbly to work with shorty sms. This is an integration I really need and don't want to use Zapier. If any progress has been made please let me know.

Agreed, I'm waiting to hear back from the Appsumo support team. It's always hard because the developers often just end up blaming the applications like pabbly when it's in fact an issue on their end.

Hopefully, I hear back from Appsumo tomorrow!

UPDATE:
Appsumo support has brought it to the attention of the developers, but they did mention the endpoint should be:

https:/shortysms/api/contacts

After switching it, I did receive a response, but it was blank and still did not work. I have attached a screenshot below.

Hey @billymingione

We have again tried the same as you have asked and the API is still not responding at all. Kindly contact their support team for proper guidance.

SOLVED

Their support messed up again. The proper Endpoint URL is:

https://shortysms.com/api/contacts

I now have the "create new contact" working!

Thank you, @Supreme for your help and for providing valuable resources to show to the Appsumo team!

Hi Billy & Others. I was able to use your hard work to get most of the way but I can't seem to get the number into a specific contact list in ShortySms. Wondering if you might have any idea of how to do this? Here is a video of what I'm trying to do: https://share.getcloudapp.com/OAu4nrL9

In this thread I saw that you were trying to build it and it was not working?

Hey @John Doe

@billymingione has made use of the API module and has built custom integration in his account itself. We have not built a native integration yet from our end.

SOLVED

Their support messed up again. The proper Endpoint URL is:

https://shortysms.com/api/contacts

I now have the "create new contact" working!
