Hi Sachin,

Unfortunately this is not currently a feature available in our SMS API. However, our developers are actively investigating adding support for that and will reply to this post when it becomes available.

Hello, I am also interested in using line wraps in outbound SMS messages. I'm including \n in the message but it sends a visible "\n" to the end user. Is there something else I can try?

Thanks,
J.R. Parnell

Hi,

When using a line break, the message must be in double quotes. For example,

Code: Select all

 $params['body'] = "This is a notification. \n This is on a new line."; 
will work, but using single quotes will not work. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.


Kindly,
Plum Support
