How do I find the Vonage SMS Message ID?

You can find the Vonage Message ID by:

Additional Information
Vonage SMS Message IDs currently have 2 formats: Hexadecimal and RFC 4122 compliant Universally Unique Identifier (UUID).
HTTP customers can receive hexadecimal (example: 34000000077DC588) and UUID format (example: 645539e7-aac2-4499-9d92-d4769a5f9554).
SMPP customers can receive hexadecimal (example: 34000000077DC588) and UUID without dashes format (example: 12fc7f681ced41a4bfc57d0ddf5c2f4e)
Please note, Hexadecimal Message IDs have been deprecated in 2023 and superseded by UUIDs. We recommend customers do not validate or limit the length of the Message ID within their applications to avoid any unexpected impact.
