Settings · Panel › Settings › SMS Providers

Choose which provider powers your SMS verification.

On the SMS Providers page you can define Netgsm, İleti Merkezi, or a generic HTTP-based provider, add more than one and set one as default, and confirm the connection with a real test message.

SMS Providers page in the izgate panel: empty list with Name, Type, Default, and Status columns
What's on screen?

SMS Providers list

  1. 1

    Table columns

    Name, Type, Default, and Status; if no provider has been defined yet, a "No SMS providers yet" message appears.

  2. 2

    Top bar

    A refresh icon and a "New Provider" button sit in the top right.

  3. 3

    Provider form

    The form opened with "New Provider" includes a type selector (Netgsm / İleti Merkezi / generic HTTP), connection details, a default toggle, and a field for sending a test message.

What can you do?

Three provider types, one interface

Netgsm

Connects using your Netgsm account credentials; guest SMS OTP codes are sent through this account.

İleti Merkezi

Connects using your İleti Merkezi account credentials; the same OTP flow also works through this provider.

Generic HTTP provider

If you have your own SMS infrastructure or another provider besides Netgsm or İleti Merkezi, you can define a generic HTTP-based integration.

Default and testing

Multiple providers, one default

You can define more than one provider and mark one of them as "Default"; networks whose authentication method is SMS use the default provider unless told otherwise. The Status column in the table shows whether the provider is active.

After saving the connection details, you can send a test message to a phone number to confirm the integration actually works — it's best not to skip this step before going into production.

  • The secret is never shown againOnce the provider's access details (API key/password) are saved, they are never displayed in the clear in the panel again.
  • Test messageAfter saving, confirm the connection by sending a trial message to a number.
  • One-tap SMS linkBesides the code, the SMS text includes a domain-bound code in the form @<portal-host> #<code>, which supports phones' "suggested code" autofill. The text also includes a one-time link (/v/{tok}); tapping it completes verification and firewall handoff in a single step (especially useful on Safari/iOS).
How does it work?

Connecting a new provider

1

New Provider

Use "New Provider" on the page and choose Netgsm, İleti Merkezi, or the generic HTTP type.

2

Enter the access details

Enter the username/password or API key issued by your provider.

3

Send a test message

Confirm the connection works by sending a test message to your own number.

4

Set a default

If you have more than one provider, mark which one should be used by default.

Good to know

Limits

The provider's access details (API key/password) are only visible the first time you enter them; once saved, they are not displayed again in the panel, only replaced. If a network's authentication method is SMS and no provider is defined or set as default, guests cannot receive an SMS code — so it's best to send a test message before going into production.

Frequently asked questions

About SMS Providers

Which SMS providers can I connect?

You can connect Netgsm, İleti Merkezi, or a generic HTTP-based provider; you can define more than one and set one as default.

Can I view my provider's access details again?

No, once saved the secret is not displayed in the clear in the panel; you can only update it with a new value.

How do I confirm the connection works?

After saving the provider, you can check the integration by sending a test message to a phone number.

What does the "one-tap link" do?

A guest who taps the one-time link (/v/{tok}) in the SMS text is verified without entering the code manually, and the firewall handoff completes in the same step; it's especially handy on iOS/Safari.

If I define more than one provider, which one is used?

The provider marked "Default" is used; if you want a different provider per network, you can choose one from that network's authentication settings.
