What is this used for?​

Some websites require a mobile phone number to verify registration, sending a code to that number which you then need to enter on the site. SMS services are made for exactly these situations. ZennoPoster, in turn, aims to make working with them as easy as possible.

How do I open this window?​

How do I connect?​

Secret Key​

To use the service, you need what's called an API key—a unique string of random characters that lets the service identify you. An example of such a key is 8fc9b30e544885b8480fb590dfcbdd71.

To get your API key, go to the website of the service you want to use. Check out their prices and terms. Once you’ve made your choice, register for the service and get your API key in your personal account on their site.

Additional Parameters​

The URL for receiving API requests. It's set by default. If it's not set, you need to check with the developers of your chosen service.

Note

Don't change this value unless you really need to!

Balance​

After you enter your API key, your current balance on the service will show up in this field.

Note

If this field stays empty after you enter your API key, then something went wrong. Possible reasons: the API key was entered incorrectly, there’s a problem with the service, or your key was banned.

Deleting a module​

To remove a module you’ve created from the program, you need to delete two files:

  • c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\ZennoLab\Configs\ИмяМодуля.dll.config
  • c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\ZennoLab\CustomModules\Sms\ИмяМодуля.dll

USERNAME—here you need to enter your user name in the operating system.

Note

It's best to turn off ZennoPoster and ProjectMaker when deleting these files.
