Mail2SMS
Mail2SMS (meaning e-mail to SMS) is an alternative method of SMS messaging straight from you mailbox. The feature is available to all users and requires no additional configuration.
SMSAPI Customer Portal is not the only way that allows you to send text messages to your clients. If for whatever reason you cannot access mobile application or Portal’s full version, consider using mail2SMS functionality. To run your SMS campaign, you need e-mail account, Internet connection, no matter the chosen e-mail client or access method.
Use the draft below to prepare your future mail2SMS campaigns. Password is already encrypted with MD5 algorithm.

How does it work?
Preparing an e-mail is easy and can be done without any IT expertise. Recipients database, sender name and message should be embedded into the code. Such e-mail, sent to a fixed address, has login and encrypted password in subject field, whereas text field contains the set of chosen parameters.
What’s more, using mail2SMS allows you to use all normally available features, like custom sender name, message’s type or contact groups.
Please refer to the second section of our Documentation for the full list of available parameters.
Before clicking send be sure to activate desired sender name and to encrypt your password. Do both in Customer Portal.
How to send SMS from e-mail account?
- In address field type in sms.do@smsapi.com.
- In subject field type in your login and password, like this: login@passoword (password has to be encrypted with MD5 algorithm).
- To add message’s text and telephone numbers use template – you will find it in our Documentation or choose parameters yourself. The e-mail must be written in standard coding (plain/quotedprintable/base64).
- Just remember about sender name activation and to put message parameter and the very end. Divide parameters with “&” character and write numbers without “+” at the beginning. Use “raport=1” parameter to receive delivery report or error message.
- Click “send” and it’s done!
