Hey,
Is anyone else using this platform and trying to integrate telstra services with it?. If so I would like to hear how you are going, I am having great difficulty from API key issues to it not working at all.
Cheers

Hi Samuel,
I have asked internally about any plugins we have on Zereoqode.
Can you please share some more details like:
Details of Telstra service you are integrating
Details of difficulty are you facing, like error details & screenshots please?
Elaborate your business case and how this integration is intending to solve your use case?
Regards

I have uploaded a screenhsot. I am using text notifications for my website when users are required to be notified of transactions or updates of the service. Zeroqode have said this is possible on the plugin page. I have setup a test page on my bubble app prior to full integration to confirm the workflow works.
Hey SAMUEL PETROFFGATES
I just checked out ZeroQode for the first time: https://zeroqode.com/plugin/telstra-smsmms-1533644145785x151506659232972800 looks similar to Zapier and other no/low-code tools but I haven't used that one before!
Looks like that ZeroQode module wasn't created by Telstra, so to understand where the issue might be can you please validate that your API keys are working in postman, the API testing tool? (I know that kind of defeats the purpose of the low-code module, but necessary to check that it's not the key thats the issue!) - You can follow this handy getting started tutorial and use our postman collection: https://dev.telstra.com/docs/messaging-api/tutorialsMenuItem/SendAnSMS
Here's the link to the postman collection directly.
By the way, if you are looking for a low-code/no-code platform for quick and easy development I've used node-red for integrating Messaging API in some home IoT monitoring use cases. I've got a tutorial and a github repo you can leverage if you are interested! https://dev.telstra.com/content/control-your-iot-device-remotely-sms-commands
Michelle the postman idea was a perfect way to test where the error were in the plugin. I have confirmed API keys are functional and are not the issue. There seems to be an issue with regards to auto generating the auth key and populating the auth key field within the bubble app plugin. I tested this by using Postman to generate an authorization key with my API keys. I then got that auth key and manually entered that key into the bubble authorization request field and the sms was sent successfully.
After looking into thebackend of the plugin I found the issue was with the word Bearer infront of the access token. A general question though everytime call my api to send a sms from my website will I be charged so would I be charged per user per call or would it would it just be one call for multiple users?.
Hi Samuel,
Glad to note that you were able to find the the root cause of this issue using the Postman collection shared by Michelle!
That ZeroQode plugin looks like it was created by an enthusiastic citizen developer, and not managed by Telstra. If there are contact details for the original author of that plugin you may want to reach out to them and let them know you found a solution.
With regards to your query, everytime an SMS is sent, you will be charged. If you are using a free trial account, the first 100 messages are free. The current charge is 6c/ domestic SMS, billed monthly. For more details on the pricing of Messaging API, please visit our pricing page, or check out our tutorial for creating a paid SMS account after the 100 free messages are up: https://dev.telstra.com/docs/messaging-api/tutorialsMenuItem/DeployToProduction
