Such a common task as SMS confirmation or any type of VIber/Whatsup notifications can be solved pretty easy with the help of numerous web services. Now we will show you how to send SMS from the green screen with the only command using i2Rest client. Two things we have to take care before start messaging:

registration on Nexmo.com
adding SSL certificate

When the preparations are completed, all we have to do - is just compose our POST request following the instructions. And here is our i2Rest client command:

 I2REST COMMAND(*POST) URL('https://rest.nexmo.com/sms/json') 
 BODY(*N 'api_key=40a45a89&api_secret=EN8AHxD6fOd1jvWD&from=VonageSMS API&to=375297784290
 &text=Hello from i2Rest' 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded') OUTPUT(*BOTH) DCMCLIENT(MYCLIENT)
 RECVLOG('/home/btpl/recvnex.log') SENTLOG('/home/btpl/sentnex.log') AUTHMETHOD(*NONE)                                   
 

The same result can be also achieved with application/json request body. The command should look like this:

 I2REST COMMAND(*POST) URL('https://rest.nexmo.com/sms/json')
 BODY(*N '{"api_key":"40a45a89", "api_secret":"EN8AHxD6fOd1jvWD", "from":"Vonage SMS API",  "to":"375297784290",
 "text":"Hello from i2Rest"}' 'application/json') OUTPUT(*BOTH) DCMCLIENT(MYCLIENT) RECVLOG('/home/btpl/recvnex.log') 
 SENTLOG('/home/btpl/sentnex.log') AUTHMETHOD(*NONE)
