To be able to send SMS messages from your diary you must sign up to the SMS add on feature fot your diary and create a Silverstreet account - see this article on how to sign up to Silverstreet

To activate SMS: 

Get all your Relevant information in Silverstreet


First, it's good to have all the relevant information to hand before integrating. 


1 | Create your own Sender ID (default will be Resdiary) 




  • Go to More>>Request Sender ID:
  • In My Profile you will find your Sender ID that you have created in the Default Sender list (you can have multiple sender ID's and they can be used in more than one diary)



*Please note that for SMS sent to diners in the US and Canada, the Sender ID will default to the dedicated ResDiary toll-free number (18339590758) instead of the Sender ID created in your Silverstreet account. This is to ensure the message delivery towards the USA and Canada networks as the United States and Canada mobile carriers no longer allowed the random sender names.


2 | Find your Account Username & Password
***Note: This is different from the Username and password you use to login into Silverstreet***


  • Go to Account Settings > Settings;



  • Here you will see your Account number and Password to use for the integration:


  • Press thebutton to get your password and remember to save



Add your details to ResDiary


  • Go to Settings > Diary > Integrations > SMS Gateway



  • Activate SMS in your diary by entering the details provided when signing up to Silverstreet.

Silverstreet, every once in a while, will email us asking us to contact a list of mutual customers to see if they are still using their silverstreet account or something to that effect. 
The answer to this is always no, that is an issue they need to resolve themselves.
