Can't send SMS with spaces

I can send SMS with no spaces, as soon as I try to make a full sentence or even one space, I receive the error message,

{

"errorCode" : "InvalidJson",

"message" : "Invalid json in section [text]",

"errors" : [ {

"errorCode" : "CMN-131",

"message" : "Invalid json in section [text]",

"section" : "text"

} ],

"section" : "text"

}


Here is my curl post.


"-X POST

-H \"accept: application/json\"

-H \"content-type: application/json\"

-H \"authorization: Bearer "& $token &" \"


--data {\"from\":{\"phoneNumber\":\"xxxxxxxxxx\"},\"to\":[{\"phoneNumber\":\"xxxxxxxxxx\"}],\"text\":\"test test\"}"

Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure why your system does not work. This works fine for me

curl -XPOST https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/[accountid]/extension/[extensionId]/sms -H 'accept: application/json' -H 'content-type: application/json' -H 'authorization: Bearer valid-access-token' --data '{"from":{"phoneNumber":"xxxxxxxxxx"},"to":[{"phoneNumber":"xxxxxxxxxx"}],"text":"test test and test again"}'

Can you try with "test%20test"

I tried the "test%20test" but I received "test%20test" in the SMS message. I am using this in Filemaker if that changes anything.

This is something wired ... I never faced this issue.. Just see I am getting the response perfectly

Make sure you using correct Json POST request as below format and structure:

{"from":{"phoneNumber":"your phone number"},"to":[{"phoneNumber":"Your number to send"},{"phoneNumber":"Your number to send"}],"text":"Test message with space"}

Please check the phone numbers as well, it needs to be in E.164 format - Also, what is the error message you are facing? Can you elaborate?

FileMaker encodes the data in a weird way...To get spaces in the text body to produce valid code, the --data must be used from a variable:
Set Variable $data ; "{\"from\":{\"phoneNumber\":\"" & $from & "\"},\"text\":\"" & $message & "\",\"to\":[{\"phoneNumber\":\"" & $to & "\"}]}"

then the cURL must reference "-d @$data" as in:

"--request POST" & ¶ &
"--header \"Accept: application/json\"" & ¶ &
"--header \"authorization: Bearer " & $token & "\"" & ¶ &
"--header \"content-type: application/json\"" & ¶ &
"-d @$data"
