Routes

Configure how messages are routed through connectors.

Routes determine which connector handles outgoing messages. The routing system evaluates rules in order and sends the message through the first matching route.

Route types

TypeDescription
StaticAlways routes to a specific connector
Round-robinDistributes messages across multiple connectors

How routing works

  1. A message arrives from an SMPP user
  2. The system checks routes in order of priority
  3. Filters are evaluated (user, destination, source)
  4. The message is sent through the matched connector

Filters

Filters determine which messages match a route:

Filter typeDescription
User filterMatch messages from a specific SMPP user
Destination filterMatch messages to specific number patterns
Source filterMatch messages with specific sender IDs

Route management

Routes and filters are managed by administrators through the SMPP Portal dashboard.

  • View routes — See all configured routes with their priority and connectors
  • Create route — Set up a new routing rule with filters
  • Delete route — Remove a routing rule
