Transactional text
SMS work at Novatelia is an API integration for transactional messages: a one-time password, a service alert, or an appointment notice. The text is sent by the messaging provider the customer contracts, and Novatelia connects that API to the application that needs it. Failures are recorded for a person to see. No delivery percentage and no price per message are published. A marketing blast is not this service.
Definition
A transactional SMS exists because an event happened. An OTP SMS carries a short-lived code so a person can confirm a sign-in or a transaction. The provider account, and any sender identity that provider issues, stay with the customer.

Questions
What is OTP SMS?
An OTP SMS is a one-time password sent by text so a person can confirm a sign-in or a transaction. The code is short-lived. The SMS provider is the one the customer contracts. Novatelia connects the application to that API.
Do you guarantee that every text arrives?
No. A delivery percentage is not published. The integration records the provider’s response and shows a failure to a person.
