Set who the organization's text messages come from

PUT /settings/sms

Set who the organization's text messages come from: senderId, the 3 to 11 letters and digits recipients see in place of a number (Ridgeline), and countries, the countries the organization texts (ISO codes: AU, NZ).

Manifold asks the SMS provider for the sender ID in each country and answers where it stands there: active, requested while a country's carriers register it, unsupported where they take no sender IDs (texts go from Manifold's number, the sender's name first), or failed with the reason. Appends notifications.sms-sender-saved. Idempotent by content: saving the sender ID and countries as they stand appends nothing.

Access

Requires settings:write.

How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.

Retries

Idempotent by content: saving the sender ID and countries as they stand appends nothing.

Why every write carries a key: Idempotency and retries.

Facts appended

notifications.sms-sender-saved

What a fact is: Facts and the journal.

AI agent tool

No agent tool. The name every customer's texts arrive from, registered with carriers country by country, is the owner's call in Settings › Notifications, not an agent's.

Connecting an agent: AI agents.

The panel writes this call in other languages. It does not send it: Manifold's APIs do not take calls from a web page on another site, so run the call from your own code or terminal. The whole API as OpenAPI: notifications-manager.openapi.json. Base URL https://notifications.getmanifold.io.

Errors

Every refusal is a status and a JSON body whose _tag names it. A refused call changes nothing.

`401`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`Unauthorized` reason	The token is missing, expired or not one Manifold issued.	Get a fresh token and send the call again.
`TokenAlreadyUsed` tokenId	A single-use app token was already spent.	Mint a new token for this call.

`402`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`SubscriptionRequired` status	The organization's subscription has lapsed, so writes are refused.	An owner settles billing. Reads still work meanwhile.

`403`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`TenantRequired` userId	The token names no organization.	Choose the organization, then get a new token.
`ScopeRequired` required	The token's roles do not grant the scope this call needs.	Ask an owner or admin for a role that grants it.

`409`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`MirroredFromSource` source	This area is fed by your source system until the organization goes live.	Make the change in the source system, or go live first.

`503`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`SmsProviderUnavailable` reason	A service this call needs did not answer, so nothing changed.	Send the same request again shortly.
`RequestLogUnavailable` tokenId, reason	The service could not record the request, so it did nothing.	Send the same request again shortly.
