It is possible to send links in SMS messages, but only after we have whitelisted the domains you want to link to.
We have set up the “link check” security feature to avoid GatewayAPI accounts being abused by sending messages that include spam, malicious links, phishing attempts, social engineering etc. This feature is enabled by default on all accounts.

- You can whitelist an entire URL, a domain or subdomain e.g. gatewayapi.com or maps.google.com (note whitelisting google.com will not whitelist this address due to the subdomain) or specific, static URLs such as gatewayapi.com/docs.
- The domains for the links must be registered.
- If it is a dynamic link, please point out the part of the link that is autogenerated.
- A short description of the content of the SMS messages must be included.
- The Sender ID that will be used must be included.
- No personal names (e.g. Elisa, Alex etc.) as the Sender ID.
