What is the DLT Registration Process?
The DLT process works as follows:
- A business registers with the authorised DLT providers as an ENTITY and receives an ENTITY ID
- The business must then register an alpha-numeric or numeric SENDER-ID / HEADER, which is the “from” identifier which is shown to the recipient when the SMS is received on their phone for approval.
- Once the SENDER-ID/HEADER is approved, the business must register the templates of all SMS it intends to send and get them approved. For each approved template, the business received a unique TEMPLATE ID.
- Using these information points, viz the ENTITY ID, the SENDER-ID and the TEMPLATE ID, the business can send SMS to users through any SMS delivery providers like EnableX.
