Message Status

Successful upload of your file to Postman does not mean that your message was successfully sent to the recipient. You will still need to check for the messages' latestStatus.

To check the statuses of your messages, please refer to the admin portal.

Other useful information

  1. If your SFTP file is not processed due to an error, the relevant SMS messages will not be created in the Postman server, and thus will not be reflected in that particular campaign.

  2. You will receive an email response per file upload, to the email address which you specified in your SFTP form submission. This email will inform you if the messages were a success or failure.

  3. You will only be able to specify 1 email address per SFTP form submission.
