Send high-priority transactional SMS messages to your users using Dojah’s Messaging API. Whether it’s delivering payment confirmations, or onboarding alerts, messages are routed instantly with full visibility into delivery status.

​
How It Works

Before you can start sending messages, you must register a Sender ID—this is the alphanumeric name that appears as the sender (e.g., DOJAH, MYBANK). You can request a Sender ID via the Dojah Dashboard. Once approved, it becomes available for use in your API calls. To send a message:
  • Register and activate your Sender ID
  • Make a POST request to the messaging endpoint with the recipient’s phone number and message body
  • Receive a message_id in response for tracking status
Optionally, poll the status endpoint using the message_id to track delivery lifecycle Statuses include:
  • queued – Message is awaiting dispatch
  • sent – Message has been handed to the telco
  • delivered – Successfully received by the user
  • failed – Delivery failed (e.g., invalid number or telco issue)

​
Use Cases

  • Payment or wallet transaction alerts
  • Loan disbursement or status updates
  • Onboarding verification messages

​
Message Status Tracking

Use the GET /status endpoint with the message_id to track the real-time state of any message. This provides a full audit trail across your communication touchpoints and ensures reliability in delivery.
