Parameters - Billing Ref
Billing Ref
| Type: | Alpha-Numeric String |
| Minimum Length: | 1 character |
| Maximum Length: | 50 characters |
This is the billing reference for the message that you are sending (maximum of 50 characters), that helps you track the number of messages sent. This parameter is generated by you.
It is of value when your message sending application is sending messages on behalf of multiple applications, or clients, and you wish to track each application’s message-sending volume.
At the end of any month you can run a report from your online account that will show you how many messages were sent with each of the Billing_Ref values that you used.
If you are sending messages on behalf of a single application and you have no need to track messages sent by Billing_Ref, then just use any value that you wish for this parameter.
