Overview

Skipify is capable of sending a created Paylink via email or SMS. The use of this endpoint is conditional based on the parameters set on the create endpoint:

To send a Paylink via email, you must set the sendEmail parameter to true. This will also require you to add an email within the Customer object.
To send a Paylink via text message, you must set the sendSMS parameter to true. This will also require you to add a phone number within the Customer object.

Please read the Creating Paylinks documentation to ensure you are creating links correctly to allow you to use this capability.
