Quick Reference
1. Send Simple SMS const axios = require ('axios' );
async function sendSMS (to, from , text ) {
const response = await axios.post (
'https://api.telnyx.com/v2/messages' ,
{ from , to, text },
{
headers : {
'Authorization' : `Bearer ${process.env.TELNYX_API_KEY} ` ,
'Content-Type' : 'application/json'
}
}
);
return response.data ;
}
await sendSMS ('+14155552671' , '+14155559999' , 'Hello from Telnyx!' );
2. Validate Phone Numbers (E.164 Format) function validateE164 (phoneNumber ) {
const e164Regex = /^\+[1-9]\d{1,14}$/ ;
if (!e164Regex.test (phoneNumber)) {
return {
valid : false ,
error : 'Phone number must be in E.164 format (e.g., +14155552671)'
};
}
return { valid : true };
}
function formatToE164 (number ) {
let digits = number.replace (/\D/g , '' );
if (!digits.startsWith ('1' )) {
digits = '1' + digits;
}
return '+' + digits;
}
3. Handle Incoming Messages (Webhook) const express = require ('express' );
app.use (express.json ());
app.post ('/webhooks/telnyx' , (req, res ) => {
const event = req.body .data ;
if (event.event_type === 'message.received' ) {
const from = event.payload .from .phone_number ;
const text = event.payload .text ;
const to = event.payload .to [0 ].phone_number ;
console .log (`Received: "${text} " from ${from } ` );
await sendSMS (from , to, 'Thanks for your message!' );
}
res.status (200 ).send ('OK' );
});
4. Verify Webhook Signatures (Ed25519) const nacl = require ('tweetnacl' );
function verifyWebhook (rawBody, signature, timestamp, publicKey ) {
const timestampMs = parseInt (timestamp);
const now = Date .now ();
if (Math .abs (now - timestampMs) > 5 * 60 * 1000 ) {
return false ;
}
const signedPayload = `${timestamp} |${rawBody} ` ;
const signatureBytes = Buffer .from (signature, 'hex' );
const publicKeyBytes = Buffer .from (publicKey, 'hex' );
return nacl.sign .detached .verify (
Buffer .from (signedPayload, 'utf8' ),
signatureBytes,
publicKeyBytes
);
}
app.post ('/webhooks/telnyx' , (req, res ) => {
const signature = req.headers ['telnyx-signature-ed25519' ];
const timestamp = req.headers ['telnyx-timestamp' ];
const rawBody = JSON .stringify (req.body );
if (!verifyWebhook (rawBody, signature, timestamp, process.env .TELNYX_PUBLIC_KEY )) {
return res.status (401 ).send ('Invalid signature' );
}
res.status (200 ).send ('OK' );
});
5. Send with Error Handling and Retry async function sendWithRetry (to, from , text, maxRetries = 3 ) {
for (let attempt = 1 ; attempt <= maxRetries; attempt++) {
try {
return await sendSMS (to, from , text);
} catch (error) {
if (error.response ?.status >= 500 && attempt < maxRetries) {
const delayMs = Math .pow (2 , attempt) * 1000 ;
console .log (`Retry ${attempt} in ${delayMs} ms...` );
await new Promise (resolve =>setTimeout (resolve, delayMs));
} else {
throw error;
}
}
}
}
6. Bulk Sending with Rate Limiting async function sendBulkSMS (recipients, from , text ) {
const delayMs = 100 ;
const results = [];
for (const recipient of recipients) {
try {
const result = await sendSMS (recipient, from , text);
results.push ({ success : true , to : recipient, id : result.data .id });
} catch (error) {
results.push ({ success : false , to : recipient, error : error.message });
}
await new Promise (resolve =>setTimeout (resolve, delayMs));
}
return results;
}
7. Idempotent Webhook Processing (Database)
async function processWebhookIdempotent (event, client ) {
try {
await client.query ('BEGIN' );
await client.query (
'INSERT INTO processed_webhooks (event_id, processed_at) VALUES ($1, NOW())' ,
[event.id ]
);
await handleEvent (event, client);
await client.query ('COMMIT' );
} catch (error) {
await client.query ('ROLLBACK' );
if (error.code === '23505' ) {
console .log ('Event already processed, skipping' );
return ;
}
throw error;
}
}
8. Two-Way Conversation State Machine const conversations = new Map ();
app.post ('/webhooks/telnyx' , async (req, res) => {
const event = req.body .data ;
if (event.event_type === 'message.received' ) {
const from = event.payload .from .phone_number ;
const to = event.payload .to [0 ].phone_number ;
const text = event.payload .text .toLowerCase ();
let state = conversations.get (from ) || 'start' ;
let reply;
switch (state) {
case 'start' :
reply = "Welcome! What's your name?" ;
conversations.set (from , 'asked_name' );
break ;
case 'asked_name' :
reply = `Nice to meet you, ${text} ! How can I help?` ;
conversations.set (from , 'helping' );
break ;
case 'helping' :
reply = 'Thanks! A human will respond shortly.' ;
conversations.delete (from );
break ;
}
await sendSMS (from , to, reply);
}
res.status (200 ).send ('OK' );
});
9. Check 10DLC Campaign Status #!/bin/bash
CAMPAIGN_ID="your-campaign-id"
API_KEY="your-api-key"
STATUS=$(curl -s "https://api.telnyx.com/v2/10dlc/campaign/${CAMPAIGN_ID} " \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${API_KEY} " \
| jq -r '.campaignStatus' )
echo "Campaign status: ${STATUS} "
10. Handle Common Errors function handleTelnyxError (error ) {
if (!error.response ) {
return { type : 'NETWORK_ERROR' , retriable : true };
}
const status = error.response .status ;
const errorData = error.response .data .errors ?.[0 ];
switch (status) {
case 400 :
case 422 :
return {
type : 'VALIDATION_ERROR' ,
message : errorData?.detail || 'Invalid request' ,
retriable : false
};
case 401 :
return { type : 'AUTH_ERROR' , retriable : false };
case 429 :
return {
type : 'RATE_LIMIT' ,
retriable : true ,
retryAfter : 60
};
case 500 :
case 502 :
case 503 :
return { type : 'SERVER_ERROR' , retriable : true };
default :
return { type : 'UNKNOWN_ERROR' , retriable : false };
}
}
Key Concepts
1. E.164 Phone Number Format International phone number format: +[country code][number]
US Example: +14155552671
UK Example: +442071234567
Always include the + prefix
Maximum 15 digits (excluding +)
2. Messaging Profiles A configuration container that groups numbers and defines webhook settings. Benefits:
Centralized webhook management
Number pools for load distribution
Alphanumeric sender IDs
Easy number management
Webhook failover URLs
3. Message Encoding and Segmentation
GSM-7 : 160 chars/segment for standard ASCII (cheaper)UCS-2 : 70 chars/segment for emoji/unicode (more expensive)Long messages split into segments (max 10)
Multi-part messages: GSM-7 = 153 chars/segment, UCS-2 = 67 chars/segment
4. Webhook Events Real-time notifications about message status:
message.sent - Sent to carriermessage.delivered - Delivered to recipientmessage.failed - Delivery failedmessage.received - Inbound message receivedmessage.finalized - Reached final state
5. 10DLC Campaign Approval Stages Critical understanding for US messaging:
TCR_ACCEPTED - Campaign Registry approved (can't send yet)MNO_PENDING - Waiting for carrier approval (1-3 days)MNO_PROVISIONED - Fully approved and ready (can associate numbers and send)
6. Authentication All API requests require Bearer token authentication:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Store API keys in environment variables, never hardcode.

Common Patterns
Pattern: Message with Tracking const tracker = new Map ();
async function sendTrackedMessage (to, from , text ) {
const response = await sendSMS (to, from , text);
tracker.set (response.data .data .id , {
to, from , text,
status : 'queued' ,
sentAt : new Date ()
});
return response;
}
app.post ('/webhooks/telnyx' , (req, res ) => {
const event = req.body .data ;
if (event.event_type === 'message.delivered' ) {
const msg = tracker.get (event.payload .id );
if (msg) msg.status = 'delivered' ;
}
res.status (200 ).send ('OK' );
});
Pattern: Format to E.164 function formatToE164 (number, defaultCountryCode = '1' ) {
let digits = number.replace (/\D/g , '' );
if (!digits.startsWith (defaultCountryCode)) {
digits = defaultCountryCode + digits;
}
return '+' + digits;
}
formatToE164 ('415-555-2671' );
formatToE164 ('(415) 555-2671' );
formatToE164 ('+1 415-555-2671' );
Pattern: Optimize Message Cost
function optimizeForGSM7 (text ) {
return text
.replace (/[""]/g , '"' )
.replace (/['']/g , "'" )
.replace (/[—–]/g , '-' )
.replace (/…/g , '...' );
}
