SMS Channel - Amazon Pinpoint

SMS Channel

A channel is a type of platform that you can deliver messages to. To send an SMS text message, you send the message through the SMS channel. Before you can use Amazon Pinpoint to send text messages, you must enable the SMS channel for an Amazon Pinpoint application.

The SMS Channel resource represents the status, sender ID, and other settings of the SMS channel for a specific application. You can use this resource to enable, retrieve information about, update, or disable (delete) the SMS channel for an application.
