Connect 23 Telecom to Xtremepush

Setup type	Webhook · self-service
Setup time	About 15 minutes
Sends SMS	Yes
Delivery status in Xtremepush	No — check 23 Telecom
Who can configure	Xtremepush user with the Webhook channel enabled

Status: Managed activation

23 Telecom supports Xtremepush through campaign and Journey Builder webhooks. Start with the sandbox recipe below; when you’re ready to launch, your account manager enables live sending and completes a short configuration check for response handling and campaign retries. On the current batch endpoint, confirm results[0].status is "accepted" with a non-empty results[0].message_id.

What this connection does

Xtremepush calls the 23 Telecom API from a campaign or a Journey Builder step to send an SMS. Xtremepush shows the HTTP response (whether 23 Telecom accepted the request); carrier delivery reports stay in 23 Telecom.

Before you start

• Xtremepush with the Webhook channel available on your plan.
• An active workspace, an approved sender ID and an E.164 test number, e.g. +447911123456.
• A restricted 23 Telecom API key with only sms.send — start with a sandbox sk_test_ key (Sandbox & test mode).

POST  /api/v1/sms/send-individual  · Permission: sms.send

Connect 23 Telecom

1. Enable the channel under Settings → Channels → Manage Channels → Webhook.

2. Create the message: Campaigns → Create Campaign → Single-stage → Time-based, then choose Webhook on the Setup tab. In Journey Builder 2.0, add a Webhook channel from the Engagement panel instead.

3. On the Content tab set the URL, headers and JSON body (below).

4. For the recipient, pick the mobile-number personalization token from the picker — do not type an unverified token by hand.

5. Send to a test user, then open Campaigns → Existing campaigns → Options → Notifications log to read the response.

6. Save the verified configuration as a reusable template.

Request body

Content → body

{
  "messages": [
    { "to": "+447911123456", "message": "Your message", "sender_id": "YourBrand" }
  ]
}

Replace to and message with your personalization tokens.

Field mapping

Xtremepush field	Value
Method	POST
URL	https://restlink23telecom.com/api/v1/sms/send-individual
Content-Type	application/json
X-API-Key	your restricted 23 Telecom key (sandbox first)
Idempotency-Key	a per-execution personalization value (see below)
messages[0].to	selected mobile-number token (E.164)
messages[0].message	campaign content
messages[0].sender_id	your approved sender ID

Send a test

1. Use your sk_test_ key, set Idempotency-Key to a fixed value such as xtremepush-sandbox-001, and send to one test user whose number is your E.164 test number.

2. In the Notifications log, confirm the response body — not just the status.

A 2xx is not acceptance — check the response body

A 200 only means the request was received. Treat the message as queued only when results[0].status is "accepted" and results[0].message_id is present. blocked_country is not queued. Missing local pricing is different: valid live API traffic is accepted fail-open, and the delivery report supplies the final status and cost. If the body is not an acceptance, do not auto-retry until the 23 Telecom message log confirms that no message was accepted.

Idempotency & retries

The Idempotency-Key header must be a value that is unique per send and stable if the campaign retries. If your campaign has no such per-execution value, treat this as a basic send path only: do not use manual re-send until you have confirmed in the 23 Telecom message log that the message was not already accepted. For production, 23 Telecom activates the retry-safe integration path and confirms how campaign retries map to idempotency during the launch check.

Production activation

Live traffic uses managed activation because Xtremepush campaigns branch on the HTTP status. Your 23 Telecom team confirms a retry-safe path using the strict integration endpoint, where a 2xx guarantees acceptance, or an adapter that validates the response body, and verifies how campaign retries map to idempotency.

The activation package includes the approved production URL or adapter mapping, the restricted key and a one-message launch check. Apply that configuration to the reusable template — rather than changing only the API key on the sandbox batch template — and then publish it.

Verify the result

Accepted means queued, not delivered. Read carrier delivery in Message status or Statistics, or add a live delivery webhook.

Troubleshooting

Response	Cause & fix
400 IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REQUIRED	Add the Idempotency-Key header
401 INVALID_API_KEY	Wrong or disabled key in the secret header
403 NO_SMS_ACCESS	SMS not enabled — contact 23 Telecom
429 RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED	Sending faster than your budget — slow the audience
