    From stringrequired

    The phone number in E.164 format. For inbound messages, this will be the remote phone number who sent the message. For outbound messages, this will be one of your SignalWire phone numbers.

    Body stringrequired

    The text of the message. Up to 1600 characters long and can be null if no message was sent.

    MediaUrl stringrequired

    URL of media you wish to attach and send with the message. Include multiple MediaUrl arguments if you which to send more than one media per message, up to a maximum of 10 media URLs per message. There is a limit of 5MB for the total combined media size per message. See the MIME Types section for a full list of content types supported by SignalWire.

    ApplicationSid string

    The SID of a SignalWire cXML bin used to configure the message's MessageStatusCallback attribute. If ApplicationSid and StatusCallback are specified, StatusCallback will take precedence.

    MaxPrice string

    The maximum price in USD acceptable for the message to be sent. Once your message is queued, the cost to send the message is calculated and if it is greater than MaxPrice, the message will be set as failed and not sent. You will not be charged. If MaxPrice is not set, all messages will be sent. The price can have a maximum of four decimal places, i.e. 0.0075.

    StatusCallback string

    A URL endpoint to receive callbacks each time the status of the message changes from queued, failed, sent, delivered or undelivered.

    ValidityPeriod integer

    The number of seconds a message will allow being queued before canceling. When sending high volume of messages, messages can sit in your sending queue. If the message should only be sent in in a specific timeframe, use ValidityPeriod to ensure you don't send messages after time-sensitive operations. It is not recommended to set a validity period of less than 5 seconds. Default value is 14400

    MessagingServiceSid string

    If a number group was used when sending an outbound message, the number group's ID will be present. If no number group was used, the value will be null.
