Frequently Asked Questions
My Zap runs successfully but the SMS is not delivered. Why?
Zapier only confirms that the request reached SMSGatewayHub; operators can still reject the message if the text does not match your DLT template. Compare the mapped message with the approved template, keep only the variable parts dynamic, and check the failure reason in your SMSGatewayHub delivery report.
Which sender ID should I use in my Zaps?
Use a sender ID (header) approved on DLT for the category of message you are automating and linked to your SMSGatewayHub account. Transactional and service messages need a header registered for that category; promotional messages use the header assigned for promotional traffic.
Zapier cannot connect my SMSGatewayHub account. What should I check?
Copy your API key again from the SMSGatewayHub panel without extra spaces and reconnect the account in Zapier. If you regenerated the key, update every Zap and tool that uses it, and test the key with the HTTP API request on this page.
Can Zaps send Hindi or other regional language SMS?
SMSGatewayHub supports Unicode SMS in Hindi and other Indian languages when the template is registered on DLT in that language. Unicode messages carry fewer characters per SMS part, so keep automated texts concise.
Do I need a developer to set up Zapier with SMSGatewayHub?
No. Zapier SMS integrations let you pass information between your apps and SMSGatewayHub without developer help. You only need your SMSGatewayHub account details and approved DLT templates.
How is SMS sent through Zapier billed?
SMSGatewayHub uses Pay As You Go pricing: you buy credits as needed and pay only for delivered SMS. Zapier's own plan is billed separately by Zapier; for SMS rates see https://www.smsgatewayhub.com/pricing or call sales on 1800 102 1822.
