What parameters are required to trigger SMS notifications to customers in production?

Hello MTN MoMo Community,I'm successfully creating payment requests in production (getting HTTP 202 responses), but customers are not receiving any SMS notifications to authorize the payments.🔧 Current Setup:Environment: Production with live keys Country: Côte d'Ivoire API: Collections requesttopay endpoint Response: HTTP 202 (request created successfully)✅ What's Working:Authentication is successful Payment requests are created without errors API responses indicate success Using correct production URLs and target environment❌ The Issue:Customers receive no SMS notifications When customers dial the USSD code, they see "No pending transactions" Transactions appear to be created but not pushed to customer devices❓ My Questions:Are there specific payload parameters required to trigger SMS delivery? Do I need special headers beyond the standard ones for SMS notifications? Is there a separate SMS trigger API call required after requesttopay? Are there customer number validation requirement

Transferring CFA from MoMo to a French bank

Hello everyone,We are a French startup and we’d like to use the MoMo API in one of our solutions. We’d like to know if it’s possible to transfer CFA from Ivory Coast directly to a French bank account in Euros using the MoMo app. Has anyone already tried this, or does anyone have information on the steps and requirements involved? If it’s not directly possible, are there alternative methods or recommended services for sending money from Ivory Coast to France? Thank you in advance for your help!
