Code Samples

You can use any programming language you want with our API, as long as it can make a REST or SOAP call. Here are examples for some of the most common platforms.

C#

/* https://ws.esendex.us/notifyws/phonenotify.asmx?wsdl was added as a Service Reference and given the name WSDL */

using WSDL;

var client = new PhoneNotifySoapClient(PhoneNotifySoapClient.EndpointConfiguration.PhoneNotifySoap);

// Let's queue a notification and give it a reference ID.
var referenceId = "notify1";
await client.NotifyPhoneAdvancedAsync(new AdvancedNotifyRequest
{
    PhoneNumberToDial = YOUR_TO_NUMBER,
    ReferenceID = referenceId,
    TextToSay = "Hello, this is a test call.",
    UTCScheduledDateTime = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(1),
    LicenseKey = YOUR_LICENSE_KEY
});

// We can cancel the notification at any time before it's sent. Let's cancel it now.
var cancelled = await client.CancelNotifyByReferenceIDAsync(referenceId, YOUR_LICENSE_KEY);

Console.WriteLine("Notification was cancelled: " + cancelled);
