Question

Can I use my own message template with the Verify API?

Answer

Yes, it is possible by using the Verify-Templates API. See the Verify API developer documentation for more details on using templates.

One use case for your own Verify template would be to adapt your message content to Google's SMS Retriever API. The Verify API template could be adapted by adding a hash that identifies your app, such as #your app name, so the SMS content generated by Vonage for your Verify API requests is compliant with Google's requirements.
