Vonage APIs allow developers to easily enhance and build intelligent, intuitive customer experiences directly into their existing applications and devices. Tuya is leveraging the Vonage SMS API to help brands set up instant notification features on their smart home products. Embedded within Tuya’s platform, the Vonage SMS API delivers timely automated notifications to ensure end users have a seamless experience, from fast, easy sign-on processes to customer support and more. Tuya also provides OTP (one-time password) logins and sign-up solutions using Vonage, enabling the creation of secure smart devices and systems.
“We’re committed to helping brands power their platforms and build IoT systems effortlessly.
