Pre-create a Smooch user and link them to SMS in order to initiate contact with a user.

Linking Users to SMS

Smooch provides a REST API endpoint for linking user's to SMS. Here are a couple ways you might want to use this API:

  • If you have a user's mobile number, you might want to initiate contact with them by SMS
  • If you're able to identify an existing user's mobile number, you might want to add SMS as an alternate channel

Below, we'll provide a recipe for creating a user, and initiating contact with them over SMS.

Generate an app scoped token

Before we can call the REST API we will need an app scoped token. If you're not sure how to do that yet, check out the authorization section of the docs.

Use the Smooch Web Messenger and REST API to send messages to visitors of your Website when they take specific actions.

Easy evented chat messages for the Web

You'll need a Website, a Server, and a Smooch app.

Step 1: On the server

On your server expose a POST /events endpoint. It should accept an event type, and a Smooch user ID as JSON data. When this endpoint is called the server should call the Smooch REST API with an appropriate message for the user. Something like this:

curl https://api.smooch.io/v1/appusers/{{userId}}/messages \
     -X POST \

how to start with Smooch and NodeJS

API Quick Start

Introduction

This quickstart will teach you to use Smooch's REST API, a Web messenger widget on a Website, and and some server-side code to create an auto response for when people send your business messages.

Prerequisites

You should be able to follow along in node.js, or another programming language; you should also have ngrok (which creates secure tunnels to localhost), or be otherwise able to deploy a server; and you should have already signed up for a Smooch account.

Setting up a Web server

First we'll set up a Web server:
