Requesting Subscription Confirmation

Scenarios

If a subscriber does not receive the confirmation message, request confirmation again. You can send a subscription confirmation message to one or more subscription endpoints at a time. For details about how many confirmation messages you can send to one subscriber, see Control over Subscription Confirmation Traffic.

To Request Subscription Confirmation

  1. Log in to the management console.

  2. Click image1 on the upper left to select the desired region and project.

  3. Under Application, select Simple Message Notification.

    The SMN console is displayed.

  4. In the navigation pane, choose Subscriptions.

  5. In the subscription list, select one or more subscriptions whose status is Unconfirmed.

  6. Click Request Confirmation above the subscription list to send confirmation messages.

  7. The subscribers confirm their subscriptions.

    Note

    • To prevent malicious users from attacking subscription endpoints, SMN limits the number of confirmation messages that can be sent to an endpoint within a specified period of time. For details, see Control over Subscription Confirmation Traffic.

    • SMN does not check whether subscription endpoints exist when you add subscriptions. However, subscribers will not receive notification messages until they confirm their subscriptions.

    • After you add a subscription, SMN sends a confirmation message to the subscription endpoint. The message contains a link for confirming the subscription. The subscription confirmation link is valid within 48 hours. Confirm the subscription on your mobile phone, mailbox, or other endpoints in time.
