Sending Messages
We can send text messages through the Proxy API by creating a Message Interaction on a Participant. The referenced Participant will receive the message from their allocated proxy number on the appropriate channel.
Note: Only POST (create) is available on Message Interactions. To query past messages you've created with this resource, query the Interaction resource.
