Using the Swagger Interface for API Testing

Swagger is a powerful interface for exploring and testing the OpCon API. It allows users to interact with API endpoints directly from a browser, making it ideal for learning, debugging, and validating API calls.🔐Accessing SwaggerTo access the Swagger interface, use the following URL format:https://<YourServername>/api/doc/index-html Replace <your-server> with the actual server name hosting your OpCon environment. This URL opens the Swagger documentation and testing interface for the OpCon API.🌠Features of SwaggerSwagger provides the following capabilities:Browse available API endpoints grouped by functionality. View detailed request and response formats. Authenticate using tokens to test secure endpoints. Execute API calls directly from the browser✅Authenticating in SwaggerTo test endpoints that require authentication, use the 'Authorize' button in Swagger. When prompted, enter your token prefixed with the word 'Token' followed by a space.Token <your-token-here>Ensu

Authenticating with the OpCon API

Authentication is a critical first step when working with the OpCon API. It ensures that only authorized users and applications can interact with the system. There are two primary methods for obtaining an authentication token:1. Via Solution Manager (Web Interface)2. Via API Call (Programmatic Access) 1. Authentication via Solution ManagerThis method is ideal for users who prefer a graphical interface and need a quick way to generate a token for testing or manual API calls.Steps:Log into Solution Manager. Navigate to your User Profile. Click on 'External Token'. Click 'Generate Token'.Copy the token and use it in your API requests.✏Note: If you do not see the 'External Token' option, check your user permissions or OpCon version. 2. Authentication via API CallThis method is suitable for automation and scripting. You can generate both user and application tokens programmatically.Example PowerShell Script to Generate a User Token:$url = "https://<your-opcon-server>/tokens"$body = @{

As of June 17, 2025, AT&T has officially discontinued its email-to-text and text-to-email services, impacting many organizations that rely on these channels for alerts and service messages. This change affects any system configured to send SMS notifications via email, including the Symitar Paging System, which can no longer deliver texts to AT&T phone numbers through email.For credit unions and financial institutions using Symitar®, this disruption could mean missed alerts and communication gaps—especially for teams that depend on automated notifications for operational workflows.SMA’s Workaround: Twilio SMS Notification ScriptTo help clients navigate this change, SMA Technologies has developed a workaround using Twilio, a cloud communications platform. The solution is available as an open-source script on GitHub:https://github.com/smatechnologies/twilio-sms-notificationsThis script enables OpCon users to send SMS alerts directly through Twilio, bypassing the now-defunct email-
