Use Case: Configuring Telesign as a provider with PingOne

About this task

Add Telesign as your organization’s provider account in place of the Ping service.

Steps

  1. Go to Settings > Sender.

  2. Select SMS/Voice.

    The default Ping Server appears, until a Custom Server or Custom Provider is configured for the environment.

  6. Optional: Fallback to Ping Twilio account: Configure the fallback setting, to handle notification dispatch if your custom provider service becomes unavailable for any reason: Enter the phone number that sends the notification. You can leverage shortcodes and toll-free numbers for increased throughput for US numbers.

    • By default, the fallback option is set to Disable. No notifications will be sent while your custom provider service is unavailable.

    • Select Enable to use Ping Identity’s sender account to fall back to as an alternative and handle notification dispatch, while your Telesign account is unavailable.
