Before you start

You need a Tethered account and a BulkSMS account with credits.

Create a BulkSMS API token

Log in to your BulkSMS account and go to Settings > Developers.

Click Create API Token and give it a name, for example Tethered. Copy the Token ID and Token Secret. The secret is only shown once.

Add a BulkSMS notifier

In Tethered, go to Notifiers and click Add new. Set Type to BulkSMS.

Enter:

  • Access Token ID: your BulkSMS Token ID
  • Access Token Secret: your BulkSMS Token Secret
  • Phone number: the mobile number to alert, in international format

Choose whether to alert for all monitors or specific ones, and optionally set a schedule or edit the message template.

Click Save Notifier.

Troubleshooting

No alerts arrive: check the token details and phone number, and that your account has credits. Look for the message under Sent Messages in BulkSMS.

All setup and ready to go!

If you have any questions, please contact our support team. Include your account name and put Tethered in the subject line, and we'll be happy to help.
