Additionally, you now do not need to paste the whole URL template as is.

You will need to break down the parameters of the template. i.e.

http://mycustomsmsgateway.url/send?message={message}&
phoneNumber={phoneNumber}

Message Parameter = message
Recipient Parameter = phoneNumber

URL Template = http://mycustomsmsgateway.url/send
<http://mycustomsmsgateway.url/send?message=%7Bmessage%7D&amp;phoneNumber=%7BphoneNumber%7D>

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FULL TEMPLATE SHOULD BE PROVIDED BY THE SMS PROVIDER.

The Parameter names might vary.

Regards
