As shown above:

Step 1: Select SSP

Select Karix from the List of Available SSPs. In doing so, you will be prompted by a configuration modal.

Step 2: Name your Configuration

Please add a user-friendly name that enables you to identify the right SSP for a campaign while creating it. This comes in handy especially, when you have multiple accounts with the same SSP for sending different types of campaigns.

For example, if you have chosen to use Karix for sending Promotional campaigns, then we recommend that you indicate the same by naming the configuration something like:

  • Karix Promo
  • Karix Mobile Promo Pipeline

Step 3: Add API Key

Navigate to your Karix dashboard to find your API Key. Paste them in the configuration modal to connect your account with WebEngage.

Step 4: Add Principal Entity ID

(Applicable only if you are sending messages to users located in India via domestic messaging pipeline. International messaging routes remain unaffected.)

  • As per TRAI's latest SMS Marketing regulations for India, you must be registered on a DLT portal as a business entity. Once registered, a unique Principle Entity ID (PE ID) will be assigned to you.

  • W.e.f from Nov 19, 2020, it is mandatory for all SSPs to pass a PE ID in the payload of each SMS message being sent to Indian phone numbers. We have partnered with Karix to make this a seamless process for you.

  • Add your PE ID during configuration - we will ensure that it is relayed to the SSP for each SMS sent to your users.

Step 5: Add Header

Kindly connect with your Karix Account Manager to ensure if any extra headers are needed to be passed.

Step 6: Add SSP

Click Add SSP, and you're good to go!

Step 7: Add WebEngage Webhook URL in Karix Dashboard (Highly Recommended)

Adding the WebEngage Webhook in Karix will enable us to receive delivery status notifications for each user. This includes campaign performance indicators like the message delivered, failed, and queued.
