## Installation
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-communication-sms</artifactId>
<version>1.2.0</version>
</dependency>
```
## Client Creation
```java
import com.azure.communication.sms.SmsClient;
import com.azure.communication.sms.SmsClientBuilder;
import com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder;
// With DefaultAzureCredential (recommended)
SmsClient smsClient = new SmsClientBuilder()
.endpoint("https://<resource>.communication.azure.com")
.credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build())
.buildClient();
// With connection string
SmsClient smsClient = new SmsClientBuilder()
.connectionString("<connection-string>")
.buildClient();
// With AzureKeyCredential
import com.azure.core.credential.AzureKeyCredential;
SmsClient smsClient = new SmsClientBuilder()
.endpoint("https://<resource>.communication.azure.com")
.credential(new AzureKeyCredential("<access-key>"))
.buildClient();
// Async client
SmsAsyncClient smsAsyncClient = new SmsClientBuilder()
.connectionString("<connection-string>")
.buildAsyncClient();
```
## Send SMS to Single Recipient
```java
import com.azure.communication.sms.models.SmsSendResult;
// Simple send
SmsSendResult result = smsClient.send(
"+14255550100", // From (your ACS phone number)
"+14255551234", // To
"Your verification code is 123456");
System.out.println("Message ID: " + result.getMessageId());
System.out.println("To: " + result.getTo());
System.out.println("Success: " + result.isSuccessful());
if (!result.isSuccessful()) {
System.out.println("Error: " + result.getErrorMessage());
System.out.println("Status: " + result.getHttpStatusCode());
}
```
## Send SMS to Multiple Recipients
```java
import com.azure.communication.sms.models.SmsSendOptions;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
List<String> recipients = Arrays.asList(
"+14255551111",
"+14255552222",
"+14255553333"
);
// With options
SmsSendOptions options = new SmsSendOptions()
.setDeliveryReportEnabled(true)
.setTag("marketing-campaign-001");
Iterable<SmsSendResult> results = smsClient.sendWithResponse(
"+14255550100", // From
recipients, // To list
"Flash sale! 50% off today only.",
options,
Context.NONE
).getValue();
for (SmsSendResult result : results) {
if (result.isSuccessful()) {
System.out.println("Sent to " + result.getTo() + ": " + result.getMessageId());
} else {
System.out.println("Failed to " + result.getTo() + ": " + result.getErrorMessage());
}
}
```
## Send Options
```java
SmsSendOptions options = new SmsSendOptions();
// Enable delivery reports (sent via Event Grid)
options.setDeliveryReportEnabled(true);
// Add custom tag for tracking
options.setTag("order-confirmation-12345");
```
## Response Handling
```java
import com.azure.core.http.rest.Response;
Response<Iterable<SmsSendResult>> response = smsClient.sendWithResponse(
"+14255550100",
Arrays.asList("+14255551234"),
"Hello!",
new SmsSendOptions().setDeliveryReportEnabled(true),
Context.NONE
);
// Check HTTP response
System.out.println("Status code: " + response.getStatusCode());
System.out.println("Headers: " + response.getHeaders());
// Process results
for (SmsSendResult result : response.getValue()) {
System.out.println("Message ID: " + result.getMessageId());
System.out.println("Successful: " + result.isSuccessful());
if (!result.isSuccessful()) {
System.out.println("HTTP Status: " + result.getHttpStatusCode());
System.out.println("Error: " + result.getErrorMessage());
}
}
```
## Async Operations
```java
import reactor.core.publisher.Mono;
SmsAsyncClient asyncClient = new SmsClientBuilder()
.connectionString("<connection-string>")
.buildAsyncClient();
// Send single message
asyncClient.send("+14255550100", "+14255551234", "Async message!")
.subscribe(
result -> System.out.println("Sent: " + result.getMessageId()),
error -> System.out.println("Error: " + error.getMessage())
);
// Send to multiple with options
SmsSendOptions options = new SmsSendOptions()
.setDeliveryReportEnabled(true);
asyncClient.sendWithResponse(
"+14255550100",
Arrays.asList("+14255551111", "+14255552222"),
"Bulk async message",
options)
.subscribe(response -> {
for (SmsSendResult result : response.getValue()) {
System.out.println("Result: " + result.getTo() + " - " + result.isSuccessful());
}
});
```
## Error Handling
```java
import com.azure.core.exception.HttpResponseException;
try {
SmsSendResult result = smsClient.send(
"+14255550100",
"+14255551234",
"Test message"
);
// Individual message errors don't throw exceptions
if (!result.isSuccessful()) {
handleMessageError(result);
}
} catch (HttpResponseException e) {
// Request-level failures (auth, network, etc.)
System.out.println("Request failed: " + e.getMessage());
System.out.println("Status: " + e.getResponse().getStatusCode());
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
System.out.println("Unexpected error: " + e.getMessage());
}
private void handleMessageError(SmsSendResult result) {
int status = result.getHttpStatusCode();
String error = result.getErrorMessage();
if (status == 400) {
System.out.println("Invalid phone number: " + result.getTo());
} else if (status == 429) {
System.out.println("Rate limited - retry later");
} else {
System.out.println("Error " + status + ": " + error);
}
}
```
## Delivery Reports
Delivery reports are sent via Azure Event Grid. Configure an Event Grid subscription for your ACS resource.
```java
// Event Grid webhook handler (in your endpoint)
public void handleDeliveryReport(String eventJson) {
// Parse Event Grid event
// Event type: Microsoft.Communication.SMSDeliveryReportReceived
// Event data contains:
// - messageId: correlates to SmsSendResult.getMessageId()
// - from: sender number
// - to: recipient number
// - deliveryStatus: "Delivered", "Failed", etc.
// - deliveryStatusDetails: detailed status
// - receivedTimestamp: when status was received
// - tag: your custom tag from SmsSendOptions
}
```
## SmsSendResult Properties
| Property | Type | Description |
|----------|------|-------------|
| `getMessageId()` | String | Unique message identifier |
| `getTo()` | String | Recipient phone number |
| `isSuccessful()` | boolean | Whether send succeeded |
| `getHttpStatusCode()` | int | HTTP status for this recipient |
| `getErrorMessage()` | String | Error details if failed |
| `getRepeatabilityResult()` | RepeatabilityResult | Idempotency result |
## Environment Variables
```bash
AZURE_COMMUNICATION_ENDPOINT=https://<resource>.communication.azure.com
AZURE_COMMUNICATION_CONNECTION_STRING=endpoint=https://...;accesskey=...
SMS_FROM_NUMBER=+14255550100
```
## Best Practices
1. **Phone Number Format** - Use E.164 format: `+[country code][number]`
2. **Delivery Reports** - Enable for critical messages (OTP, alerts)
3. **Tagging** - Use tags to correlate messages with business context
4. **Error Handling** - Check `isSuccessful()` for each recipient individually
5. **Rate Limiting** - Implement retry with backoff for 429 responses
6. **Bulk Sending** - Use batch send for multiple recipients (more efficient)
