Send a message POST

Sends a message to one or more recipients using a template. Supports multi-channel broadcast — when multiple channels are specified (e.g. ["sms", "whatsapp"]), a separate message is created for each (recipient, channel) pair. Returns immediately with per-recipient message IDs for async tracking via webhooks or the GET /messages/{id} endpoint.

Get message activities GET

Retrieves the activity log for a specific message. Activities track the message lifecycle including acceptance, processing, sending, delivery, and any errors.
