Source Address | Type the email address that the message will appear to come from in this field.

To minimize the chances of delivery failure, the Source Address should be registered with Clickatell prior to use. |
Delivery Acknowledgement | Select an option from the list. Depending on your selection, this will return a delivery acknowledgement for sent messages upon successful delivery to the mobile handset or upstream gateway. |
Enable Callback | Select an option from this list to enable message receipt delivery status via an HTTP callback URL called by Clickatell. This is called every time a message status is updated. EngageOne Deliver uses these status messages in the reports that it generates. |
Delivery Time | The time value entered in this field delays the delivery of SMS to mobile device in minutes relative to the time at which the SMS was received by the Clickatell gateway. For best results this should be greater than 10 minutes or 0 (zero). Note that a smaller time frame may be delivered too soon. |
Maximum Credits | Overrides the maximum charge specified online. This applies within the bounds of the profiles so the profile must exist for the maximum credit that you set. |
AWS SMS Type | Allows you to set the severity of a message: Transactional or Promotional. Transactional – Critical messages that support customer transactions, such as one-time passcodes for multi-factor authentication. Promotional – Noncritical messages, such as marketing messages. |
Delivery Queue | Select the Delivery Queue to be used. The SMS service delivers the messages through one of the three queues assigned to each client account. Messages in the highest priority queue are delivered first. |
Gateway Escalation | When enabled, this prompts an escalation to an alternative delivery gateway whenever the message is delayed for a set length of time. |
Mobile Originated | Setting this to Enable Reply routes the message through a predefined carrier to enable the ability for a reply to be received. Note that this is only applicable to clients that have subscribed to a two-way messaging service from Clickatell. |
Validity Period | Assign a value in minutes in this field. The message will not be delivered if it is still queued in the Clickatell gateway after this time period, relative to the time at which the SMS was received by the gateway. |
