In order to send review requests over SMS, you can use your own TextLink account. You can register here, if you do not already have one. You will need to:
Pair a spare Android phone with a SIM or eSIM using the TextLink app
Keep that phone powered on and connected to the internet
Copy your API key from the API console
TextLink sends through your own SIM as peer-to-peer traffic, so you do not need 10DLC / A2P registration. Setup details are in their Android setup guide.
Once you have a paired device and your API key, you are ready to connect your account to MGR to request reviews over SMS. To establish the connection, go to your project integrations and click on the TextLink integration. Add your API key.
This is all that is needed to set up SMS with TextLink on our end. If your credentials are correct and your Android gateway is online, you are just about done.
In order for MGR to mark failed messages and listen for the STOP keyword to unsubscribe, you will need to paste the Incoming Webhook URL from the TextLink integration page into your TextLink API console. Use the same URL for:
Received messages
Failed messages
Save, then use Test webhooks in TextLink if you want to confirm the endpoint responds.
TextLink does not provide a correlatable delivery receipt webhook. Messages that send successfully will show as sent in MGR; failures and STOP/START replies are handled via the webhooks above.
