    The Message Element

    The Message element is used to send a message during your call flow. For instance, if you want to send out an SMS notification when you receive an incoming call on your Plivo number, you would use the <Message> XML in your application.

    To receive a message, you must set a message URL in your Plivo application via the API or in the Applications tab from the Dashboard.

    Attributes

    The attributes supported by the Messsage element are listed below. The default behavior of each attribute can be modified using the allowed values.

    src string

    Source Number. For eg.1202322222

    Allowed values - Must be a purchased, valid number.

    dst string

    Destination Number. Can be bulk numbers delimited by <. For eg.1203443444<1203345564

    Allowed values - Must be a valid number.

    type string

    Type of the message. For eg. sms

    Allowed values - sms

    callbackUrl string

    URL that is notified by Plivo when a response is available and to which the response is sent. (Delivery reports)
