Create a draft supporting document

/origination/porting/draft_port_requests/:draft_port_request_id/supporting_documents
Supporting Document Upload

Submitting a draft port request requires multiple supporting documents to be uploaded that provide details about the account associated with the telephone numbers and give our porting agents the authority to initiate the porting process from your current carrier to Telnyx.

The documents required for North American numbers are:

  1. The most recent bill copy/invoice from your current carrier
  2. A completed Letter of Authorization (LOA). This should be a completed copy of the LOA template

We recommend uploading these documents as either PDFs or images.

Uploading a supporting document is a multi-step process:

1. Submit an upload request through the API

This request signifies your intent to upload a document and will generate a temporary signature that grants you the ability to upload the file directly to Amazon S3 from either the browser or from your application server.

Specify the content type of the file being uploaded in the body of the request.

POST https://api.telnyx.com/files/upload_requests

Example request body
{
"content_type": "image/jpeg"
}

The successful response will have status code 201 Created.

2. Upload the file to Amazon S3 using a multipart file upload.

POST https://files-service-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/

Example request

Each of the attributes in this request will need to be updated with the values received in the response to the upload request endpoint (see above) or, in the case of the file field, the path to the file you are uploading.

curl -X POST \
https://files-service-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/ \

The successful response will have status code 204 No Content. The information you need from the response is in the Location header.

Response headers

Location header example:

Location: https://files-service-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/direct-uploads%2F87a1e591-c54b-4f1c-8947-6f888aa91606%2FConcept+8.jpg

Save this value for the next step.

3. Associate the uploaded file with your draft sub request.

You can now associate the uploaded file with the draft sub request by making a request to the Telnyx API.

POST https://api.telnyx.com/origination/porting/draft_port_requests/{draft_port_request_id}/supporting_documents

{
"document_type": "invoice",
"description": "",
"url": "{URL returned by S3 in the Location header}",
"draft_sub_request_id": "{draft_sub_request_id}"
}

Note: The document_type field should be set to either loa or invoice according to the type of document being uploaded.

The successful response will have status code 201 Created

These steps should be repeated for additional file uploads.
