If you need to send 1 message to a list of numbers, then use the ‘message_type’: ‘bulk’ parameter as in the example below, passing an array of numbers:
'delivery_list': [
    '375291111111',
    '375292222222',
 ]

If you need to send each message to a different phone number, then use ‘message_type’: ‘personal’, passing the message text and phone number each time. For example:
'delivery_list': [
    {
       'phone': '375291111111',
       'text': 'personal message 1'
    },
    {
       'phone': '375292222222',
       'text': 'personal message 2'
    } 
]
To schedule a mailing, you can specify the time of the mailing via the schedule_time parameter, in the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss

The peculiarity of sending a Viber message is the availability of three options: text, image or button.
The filling options are given in the sample api request.

Attention!

The image option can only be used in a mailing with message_type = bulk.
In the button variant, the button_link parameter must not exceed 150 characters.
The image_url parameter in the button and image variants must have a link to an image that is publicly available.
