Release Notes

• A slight change to the way that you log into the Bandwidth App. First you will enter your username, then another field will appear to enter your password.
• API user credentials will no longer be able to access the Bandwidth App via a web browser and will only be able to authenticate via the API. Read our support article.

We’ve added new fields to our Message Search feature! You can now find ‘Message-Size’, ‘Attachment-Count’, ‘Recipient-Count’ and ‘Message-Length’ in your Message Search API.

Message Expiration is also live! This API parameter gives you the ability to specify the date  after which a message shouldn’t be sent, thus improving the time-relevance for sent messages.

• Speedier delivery of your most important messages
• More control of the order of messages in your queue
• The ability to categorize messages based on priority

We’ve simplified an existing endpoint, and reduced the elements of the VoiceHostGroup from 5 to 1. This brings the API in line with what the UI supports. Check out the API docs for more info, specifically the /accounts /{accountId} /sites /{siteId} /sippeers section, for more information.

Our information security engineers are focused on keeping your account safe and secure. We’ve updated our password management policies to include the following security enhancements:

• Admins can unlock user accounts for those who have been locked out
• The password reset link will now expire after 24 hours from when it was sent
• The new user email confirmation will expire after 24 hours from when it was sent
• We’ve increased the complexity of the password from minimum of 8 to minimum of 12 characters
• The password expiration time was reduced to 90 days (this does not impact API users)

With this enhancement you can now manage your Emergency Services Notifications using the 911 Access Dashboard APIs.

To use this feature you’ll need to be contracted/enabled for the Notification service. If you’d like to use this feature and are not contracted for it please reach out to your Account Manager.

We’ve updated our user management emails to provide you with a fully self-service experience to create and manage user credentials. These emails will clearly guide you through the proper actions to take in order to log into the Bandwidth App & reset your password as-needed.

You can now make voice calls to endpoints by specifying a SIP URI address.

For example you can now make calls to endpoints as follows: The destination to call (must be an E.164 formatted number (e.g. +15555551212) or a SIP URI (e.g. sip:[email protected]).

To use this feature you’ll need to be contracted/enabled for the CALL-TO-SIPURI SKU. If you’d like to use this feature and are not contracted for it please reach out to your Account Manager.

• Asynchronous execution
• Detailed GET order status and information
• Detailed GET order history

We’ve updated the Applications page to now support the ability to send messaging events to separate endpoints. One for inbound messages and another for status (outbound) messages.

With this update you can:

• Configure separate callback URLs for inbound messages and status (outbound) callback events
• Set status (outbound) callback as optional
• Select which status (outbound) callback events you receive

Existing applications will continue to work as they currently do. If you’d like to take advantage of these Messaging Callback configuration options, visit the Applications page in the Bandwidth App to update.

Based on your feedback, we are happy to announce the ability to consecutively search for numbers is now available in the Bandwidth App—with a maximum amount of 100 telephone numbers per search. For more information, check out our support center articles on how to be a good steward of consecutive phone number ordering and how do I search and order consecutive phone numbers.

BW Porting and Fall-out Management services now update status and desired due dates (DDD) for customers whenever a DDD changes or the port needs to be resubmitted.

• Message ID
• Date
• Status
• Error Code
• To and/or From Number, and more!

The Bandwidth App now offers porting automation for U.S. off-net ports.
