Creating a normalization rule in SMPPCenter’s SMPP software allows you to modify messages before they’re sent to the operator. Here’s how to set one up:
Steps to Create a Normalization Rule:
- Log In: Access your admin account.
- Navigate to Normalization Rules: Go to Sidebar -> SMPP Client -> Rules -> Normalization Rules.
- Add a New Rule: On the Normalization Rules page, click Add in the top-right corner to open a modal form.
- Fill in the Details:
- UserName: Select the username to apply this rule to.
- Identifier: Enter a unique title to identify the rule (e.g., “OTP Text Replace”).
- Description: Provide a brief description of the rule (e.g., “Replaces OTP with Verification Code”).
- Configure Rule Settings: Set up Vendor ID, Sender Name, Mobile Number, Text Message, and DLT rules as needed (see other FAQs for details).
- Status: Set to Enabled to activate the rule or Disabled to keep it inactive.
- Save the Rule: Click Save to apply the rule to your messaging workflows.
Best Practices
- Use descriptive Identifiers and Descriptions for easy rule management (e.g., “SenderName_Replace_2025”).
- Test the rule with a sample message to ensure it works as expected before enabling it for live campaigns.
