.sms

SMS settings are defined under the sms key, as an object supporting the following properties:

app_settings.json .sms

Code sample

The definition takes the typical form below:

"sms": {
  "outgoing_service": "medic-gateway",
  "duplicate_limit": "2"
}

Duplicate SMS messages handling

Every time a service (API or Sentinel) creates an SMS, we cache the recipient, and the message content, along with the current timestamp. When more than duplicate_limit messages have been created for the same pair of recipient+content, within the cache time limit, we mark the new message with a “duplicate” status. Such messages are never sent. The cache is cleared 30 minutes after the last SMS message for a specific pair was generated.
