Telnyx Messaging - Java

Installation

<!-- Maven -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.telnyx.sdk</groupId>
    <artifactId>telnyx</artifactId>
    <version>6.89.0</version>
</dependency>

// Gradle
implementation("com.telnyx.sdk:telnyx:6.89.0")

Setup

import com.telnyx.sdk.client.TelnyxClient;
import com.telnyx.sdk.client.okhttp.TelnyxOkHttpClient;

TelnyxClient client = TelnyxOkHttpClient.fromEnv();

All examples below assume client is already initialized as shown above.

Error Handling

All API calls can fail with network errors, rate limits (429), validation errors (422), or authentication errors (401). Always handle errors in production code:

import com.telnyx.sdk.models.messages.MessageSendParams;
import com.telnyx.sdk.models.messages.MessageSendResponse;
MessageSendParams params = MessageSendParams.builder()
    .to("[phone]")
    .from("[phone]")
    .text("Hello from Telnyx!")
    .build();
MessageSendResponse response = client.messages().send(params);

Common error codes: 401 invalid API key, 403 insufficient permissions, 404 resource not found, 422 validation error (check field formats), 429 rate limited (retry with exponential backoff).

Important Notes

• Phone numbers must be in E.164 format (e.g., [phone]). Include the + prefix and country code. No spaces, dashes, or parentheses.
• Pagination: List methods return a page. Use .autoPager() for automatic iteration: for (var item : page.autoPager()) { ... }. For manual control, use .hasNextPage() and .nextPage().

Operational Caveats

• The sending number must already be assigned to the correct messaging profile before you send traffic from it.
• US A2P long-code traffic must complete 10DLC registration before production sending or carriers will block or heavily filter messages.
• Delivery webhooks are asynchronous. Treat the send response as acceptance of the request, not final carrier delivery.

Reference Use Rules

Do not invent Telnyx parameters, enums, response fields, or webhook fields.

• If the parameter, enum, or response field you need is not shown inline in this skill, read references/api-details.md before writing code.
• Before using any operation in ## Additional Operations, read the optional-parameters section and the response-schemas section.
• Before reading or matching webhook fields beyond the inline examples, read the webhook payload reference.

Core Tasks

Send an SMS

Primary outbound messaging flow. Agents need exact request fields and delivery-related response fields.

client.messages().send() — POST /messages

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
to	string (E.164)	Yes	Receiving address (+E.164 formatted phone number or short co...
from	string (E.164)	Yes	Sending address (+E.164 formatted phone number, alphanumeric...

messagingProfileId	string (UUID)	No	Unique identifier for a messaging profile.
mediaUrls	array[string]	No	A list of media URLs.

...			+7 optional params in references/api-details.md

import com.telnyx.sdk.models.messages.MessageSendParams;

Send an SMS with an alphanumeric sender ID

Common sender variant that requires different request shape.

client.messages().sendWithAlphanumericSender() — POST /messages/alphanumeric_sender_id

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
from	string (E.164)	Yes	A valid alphanumeric sender ID on the user's account.
to	string (E.164)	Yes	Receiving address (+E.164 formatted phone number or short co...

Webhook Verification

Telnyx signs webhooks with Ed25519. Each request includes telnyx-signature-ed25519 and telnyx-timestamp headers. Always verify signatures in production:

import com.telnyx.sdk.core.UnwrapWebhookParams;
import com.telnyx.sdk.core.http.Headers;

// In your webhook handler (e.g., Spring — use raw body):
@PostMapping("/webhooks")
public ResponseEntity<String> handleWebhook(
    @RequestBody String payload,
    HttpServletRequest request) {
  try {
    Headers headers = Headers.builder()
        .put("telnyx-signature-ed25519", request.getHeader("telnyx-signature-ed25519"))
        .put("telnyx-timestamp", request.getHeader("telnyx-timestamp"))
        .build();
    var event = client.webhooks().unwrap(
        UnwrapWebhookParams.builder()
            .body(payload)
            .headers(headers)
            .build());
    // Signature valid — process the event
    System.out.println("Received webhook event");
    return ResponseEntity.ok("OK");
  } catch (Exception e) {
    System.err.println("Webhook verification failed: " + e.getMessage());
    return ResponseEntity.badRequest().body("Invalid signature");
  }
}
