Creating an SMS Subscription
Create an SMS subscription in Notifications.
SMS subscriptions are enabled only for messages sent by the following Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services: Announcements, Monitoring, and Connector Hub. SMS messages sent by unsupported services are dropped. See Cause: Unsupported resource used for SMS.
Message contents and appearance vary by message type. See SMS alarm messages and SMS connector messages.
By providing your phone number, you are opting-in to receive recurring SMS notifications for your organization. Reply STOP to opt-out at any time. Message and data rates may apply.
Before You Begin
If SMS messages come from a phone number in another country, international SMS capabilities are required. We continuously add support for more countries so that more users can receive SMS messages from local phone numbers.
These steps show how to open the Create Subscription panel from the details page for the topic that you want to add the subscription to. You can also open this panel from the Subscriptions list page, specifying the topic in the panel: Select Create Subscription, and then select a Subscription Topic. Notifications creates the SMS subscription and sends a confirmation URL to its endpoint. The subscription is pending until confirmation is received.
Use the oci ons subscription create command and required parameters to create an SMS subscription:
oci ons subscription create --protocol "SMS" --subscription-endpoint <SMS_endpoint> [...]
For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference for Notifications.
Run the CreateSubscription operation to create an SMS subscription.
Example:
POST /20181201/subscriptions Host: notification.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com <authorization and other headers> { "topicId": "<topic_OCID>", "compartmentId": "<compartment_OCID>", "protocol": "SMS", "endpoint": "<sms-endpoint>" }
