How Easy Is It to Switch to Telgorithm’s SMS API? A Step-by-Step Guide

Written by: Aaron Alter

Switching from one SMS API provider to another is often perceived as a lengthy and complex process. At Telgorithm, we’ve redefined this experience, making integration and migration to our API as seamless as possible with minimal disruption to your business. With our fully-automated systems, we’ve migrated over 16,000 Campaigns and ported over 500K phone numbers – our integration and number porting are designed to be smooth, quick, and effective.

Effortless Integration

Integrating Telgorithm’s SMS API requires just a few lines of code and takes only 1-2 days for a developer to fully implement. Think of it like switching a plug from one outlet to another. Telgorithm customer Karlo Zadro, CTO of Textspot, shared that “Telgorithm's API are well documented and offers an OpenAPI Generator allowing you to instantly generate a library conforming to whatever codebase you may be using.” 

OpenAPI Generator can instantly generate code from an OpenAPI specification. It can create code for client libraries, server stubs along with documentation and configuration for almost any type of codebase.

Once integrated, you can quickly purchase new numbers, test inbound and outbound messaging, and access our technical and support teams for any questions.

Typical Integration Timeline:

• Documentation Review: ~3 hours
• Console Application Setup: ~3 hours
• Product Integration Development: 1 day

In just one to two days, your team can be up and running with Telgorithm, ready to send messages without disruption.

Campaign Migration

If you’re a Campaign Service Provider (CSP) on The Campaign Registry (TCR), migrating Campaigns from your current provider is straightforward. TCR’s Campaign Migration Tool, released earlier this year, enables you to seamlessly transfer existing approved Campaigns from your legacy provider to Telgorithm. With only a few API calls, Campaigns can be moved in seconds and even tested in small batches to ensure a smooth migration. 

Typical Campaign Migration Timeline:

• Migration Using TCR’s Tool: This is a swift process that should not cause disruptions to your customers. 

Streamlined Phone Number Porting

Our automated porting process makes phone number migration hassle-free. Telgorithm’s Automated Number Porting enables you to port active or existing numbers from your previous provider to Telgorithm in bulk at no additional cost. As a hosted messaging provider, Telgorithm allows you to maintain your voice services with your current provider while we handle your SMS/MMS messaging.

Phone Number Porting Advantages:

• No manual porting required
• Real-time updates on porting status through our Carrier-level API
• Port only SMS/MMS numbers while retaining voice numbers with your current provider

Typical Phone Number Porting Timeline:

• Bulk Porting: Can be completed in 5 minutes by a developer

Quick and Reliable 10DLC Setup

For a fully streamlined experience, our 10DLC setup automates processes for moving large volumes of Campaigns and phone numbers. Whether you have a single number or thousands, Telgorithm is designed to support an efficient transition.

Total Timeline: 2-3 Weeks

Note: This timeline is subject to change based on any internal quality assurance or other project-specific requirements you may have.
