Sender fields

Field	Type	Description
id	string	The sender ID
sender_name	string	The value to pass as from when sending SMS
country	string	The country the sender is approved to send to: KSA, Egypt, Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, UAE, Yemen or Turkey
purposes	string[]	What the sender is registered for: transactional, marketing, or both
created_at	string	When the sender was added (ISO 8601)

Match the sender to the message

SMS campaigns need a sender whose purposes include marketing. Messages sent through POST /sms/send need transactional. A sender only reaches numbers in its own country.
