Verify Now

Turn phone numbers into a trusted gate for your app without building infrastructure from scratch. Developers drop in Verify Now by Message Central with a few endpoints: request an OTP, validate it, and manage resend/expiry rules. Start in the console: create a project, choose a sender ID, set your callback URL, and grab API keys for test and production. Call the Send endpoint with the user’s number, a template, and a time-to-live; confirm codes through the Verify endpoint and map error codes to your UI (expired, too many attempts, invalid). Use it for sign-up checks, login challenges, password resets, and transaction approvals. Keep code clean by wrapping calls in a small client, enforcing per-session limits, and logging request IDs for traceability.

Product and operations teams configure delivery for real-world traffic. Localize templates with variables, shorten copy to fit per-country constraints, and tune TTL to match your UX (short for logins, longer for onboarding). Set resend windows and maximum attempts to reduce friction while controlling cost. For peak events—launches, flash sales, payroll cutoffs—schedule high-volume sends and monitor live delivery rates and latency percentiles in the dashboard. Route by geography, pick sender types where supported, and align quiet hours with local regulations. Templates and routing changes go live instantly, so you can experiment and roll back without code pushes. more
