Perform HLR lookup in SMS Fusion, without opening it
SMS Fusion exposes 3 operations and a companion can work all of them: send SMS, perform HLR lookup and get a balance. Anything that changes a record waits for your click.
Open the balance. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the SMS Fusion afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a balance until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what SMS Fusion exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, 2 reads and 1 write. In practice that means it can send SMS, and work across the balances, perform hlr lookups and sms.
The SMS Fusion API stops at SMS Fusion. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Does it read the balances or ask you for them?
2 of the 3 operations are reads.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can perform HLR lookup and get a balance, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from SMS Fusion's documentation.
The balances are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the perform hlr lookups. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of SMS Fusion admin becomes a queue you review.
- Perform HLR Lookup
- Get Balance
Which balances wait for your approval?
The one write operation there is waits for you.
A companion can send SMS, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the balance, the field and the new value before it lands in SMS Fusion.
Nothing in SMS Fusion is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the balance exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.
- Send SMS
Does the balance sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the SMS Fusion balances pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the messages, the SMS Fusion balances sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
