ViewsMessagebird API - not recieving SMS texts
I'm following the Messagebird docs on sending an SMS through the messagebird API. When I run my app and go to the link in postman, I get no errors and "SUCCESS" is console.logged as well as the reponse. However I never recieve a text. When I go to the SMS logs on the messagebird dashboard there's nothing there except for the test SMS I sent rhough the messagebird dashboard
I've replaced my number for privacy purposes but there was no issue regarding the number being invalid
router.get("/testSMS", (req,res) => {
messagebird.messages.create({
originator : 'Movie App',
recipients : [ '123456778' ],
body : 'Hello World, I am a text message and I was hatched by Javascript code!'
}, function (err, response) {
if (err) {
console.log("ERROR:");
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log("SUCCESS:");
console.log(response);
}
});
})
Here's my console

This example works for me. If you add your number as a query param does this work for you?
router.get("/test/:phone", (req, res) => {
const { phone } = req.params;
// Ensure the phone nubmer follows the E.164 format (https://www.twilio.com/docs/glossary/what-e164)
if (!/^\+[1-9]{1}[0-9]{3,14}$/.test(phone)) {
return res.status(400).send("Invalid phone number");
}
// Sends a test SMS to the number specified in the request
messagebird.messages.create(
{
originator: "MessageBird",
recipients: [phone],
body: "This is a test message from MessageBird",
},
(err, response) => {
if (err) {
return res.send(err);
}
return res.send(response);
}
);
});
