Configuration values for the parameters contain variable elements, which are replaced with corresponding values during SMS transmission. For example, ${cfg.user} is replaced with the “Account User Name” configuration value.
The following elements are required in the parameters string.
| Element | Field Corresponding to Element |
| $msg.address | User Attribute to Provide SMS Destination |
| $msg.message | On-Demand Tokencode Message |
| $cfg.user | Account User Name |
| $cfg.password | Account Password |
The +, &, and = characters are reserved for use with value pairs in the parameters string, for example, text=${msg.message}&clientid=${cfg.user}.
If the +, &, or = characters are used in any name value data that is retrieved by the parameters string, you must enter the following elements in the parameter string:
| Character | Element |
| + | ${plus} |
| & | ${ampersand} |
| = | ${equal} |
For example, if you want to include the + character with a foreign phone number, use the ${plus} element as follows: destaddr=${plus}${msg.address}
