Configuring Vonage SMS and Text-to-Speech in Workbench

After setting up your Vonage account and obtaining the required information, you can create a Vonage configuration for outgoing SMS and Text-to-Speech in Workbench.

To configure Vonage SMS and Text-to-Speech in Workbench:

  1. Open Workbench and in Project Explorer, expand your project > Alarms and Notifications > Alert Notifications.

  2. Right-click Vonage Configurations and select Add Vonage Configuration. The new Vonage configuration dialog is displayed.

  3. In the Name field, enter a unique identifier. Optionally, add a Description.
  4. Select the Default Configuration checkbox to make this configuration default. Alert notification service requires a default Vonage configuration to send Vonage alerts.

    1. Go to the Phone Numbers tab and select Click here to add new item.
    2. Name the new item in the Name column and in the Phone Number column, enter the virtual phone number that you have obtained in your Vonage account.
    3. Go back to the General Settings tab and in Default Phone Number, select the newly added phone number from the drop-down list. This is the From Phone number for this Vonage configuration.
  6. In API Key, API Secret and Application ID, enter the information copied from your Vonage account. Learn more
