TextPeak Channel Types

See the TextPeak channel types, what traffic each one carries, and which setup guide to open for the type you need.

Channels is the TextPeak page where every messaging route lives, grouped under the type it belongs to. This page lists the types on offer and links to the setup guide for each one.

For what Channels replaced, see TextPeak Channels Overview. For the channel list, the Manage channel view, and the day-to-day steps, see Working with Channels.

NOTE

Channels is the new name for Streams API, introduced in TextPeak v1.1.2. The routes themselves have not changed: your existing streams appear here as channels, and every token, template, and webhook continues to work. Only the page and its navigation have been rebuilt.

Channel types

Each card on the Channels page opens a page for one type. The count on the card tells you how many channels of that type exist on the account.

One-time passwords are not a channel type. To send them, create a configuration under OTP Service, which reaches SMS, WhatsApp, and Voice from one endpoint. For the steps, see Creating OTP Configurations.
