Case 1:

If the API request includes ten Sender IDs, with seven being successful and three failing, the following is the API response.

The API will be successful only if all the Sender IDs are successful. For instance, if one of the sender IDs already exists out of the 10 provided, then the API will fail with the following message:

{
  "code": "MSG134",

"message": "Sender IDs not created",

"data": [],

"error": {

    "0": {

        "sender": "Sender ID Already exist.",

        "sender_name": "TESTEHJJ5"

    }
}
