# Send a message with message feedback in AWS End User Messaging SMS
<a name="message-feedback-api-enable"></a>

To enable message feedback when sending a message with [SendTextMessage](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/pinpoint/latest/apireference_smsvoicev2/API_SendTextMessage.html), or [SendMediaMessage](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/pinpoint/latest/apireference_smsvoicev2/API_SendMediaMessage.html), set the `MessageFeedbackEnabled` parameter to true. When you use message feedback you have to set the message feedback status record to update your [message feedback metrics](monitoring-cloudwatch.md#cw-metrics-message-conversion.title) . 

The following is a partial example of sending an SMS with message feedback enabled by using the `--message-feedback-enabled` parameter. 

**Sending an SMS message with message feedback enabled with the API**
+ At the command line, enter the following command:

  ```
  aws pinpoint-sms-voice-v2 --region '{{us-east-1}}' send-text-message --destination-phone-number {{+12065550150}} --origination-identity {{+14255550120}} --message-body '{{text body}}' --message-feedback-enabled
  ```

  In the preceding command, make the following changes:
  + Replace {{us-east-1}} with the AWS Region that your origination identity is stored in.
  + Replace {{\+12065550150}} with the destination phone number.
  + Replace {{\+14255550120}} with your origination identity. The origination identity must be `ACTIVE` and able to send to the destination phone number.
  + Replace {{text body}} with your text message.
  + Leave `--message-feedback-enabled` to have message feedback enabled.

The following is a partial example of sending an SMS with message feedback enabled in a configuration set. By using a configuration set you can also take advantage of any event logging specified by the configuration set.

**Example of sending an SMS message with message feedback with a configuration set**
+ At the command line, enter the following command:

  ```
  aws pinpoint-sms-voice-v2 --region '{{us-east-1}}' send-text-message --destination-phone-number {{+12065550150}} --origination-identity {{+14255550120}} --message-body '{{text body}}' --configuration-set-name {{ConfigSetName}}
  ```

  In the preceding command, make the following changes:
  + Replace {{us-east-1}} with the AWS Region that your origination identity is stored in.
  + Replace {{\+12065550150}} with the destination phone number.
  + Replace {{\+14255550120}} with your origination identity. The origination identity must be `ACTIVE` and able to send to the destination phone number.
  + Replace {{text body}} with your text message.
  + Replace `ConfigSetName` with the name of the configuration set.

If AWS End User Messaging SMS accepts the command you will receive the `MessageId`. This only means the command was successfully received and not that the destination device has received the message yet. 

```
{
   "MessageId": "string"
}
```

You need to save the `MessageId` to update that your customer [received the message](message-feedback-change-status.md#message-feedback-change-status.title).
