Key Takeaways

  • Scenario 450 is a twilight listing shoot: photographer and seller both get the dusk window. A slip cancels both holds — not a lockbox handoff, appraisal, or open house.
  • A photographer on a dark lot after a no-show is a wasted golden hour and a cancelled weekend listing.
  • Do not SMS the full gate PIN in message 1. Time, street-facing note, and how to reschedule.
  • Portal OTP for the listing CMS stays on another device.
  • Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit. Free: 1 device / 300 SMS lifetime / 300 contacts. Developer: 25,000 SMS per year.

Android SMS gateway scenario 450 is a listing desk booking dusk photos. The seller gets “lights on, 18:40.” The photographer gets the same hold. Move-in lockboxes and closing-day wires are the wrong list.

Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit. Scheduled SMS · Developer Center. GSMA.

Golden hour is the product. A slip shrinks the disk — cancel both, do not stretch.

Dusk hold, not a drip

Schedule T-6h lights reminder + T-0 arrive ping. Cancel both if either party slips. Map to the shoot id, not the MLS id.

If the photographer still arrives after the seller cancelled, you paid for a dark facade and a weekend delay.
