# Name an SMS batch with Node.js continued

## Name your batch

Assigning a name to a batch can be done in the `/batches` endpoint. The main parameter we're looking at is `client_reference` for naming batches.

If you're looking to set your own ID for a batch, you're in the right place.

## Add the code to your file

Copy and paste the "Name your batch" code into your `nameBatch.mjs` file.

Name your batch
// Find your Service Plan ID and API Token at dashboard.sinch.com/sms/api/rest
// Find your Sinch virtual numbers at dashboard.sinch.com/numbers/your-numbers/numbers
const SERVICE_PLAN_ID = 'YOUR_service_plan_id';
const API_TOKEN = 'YOUR_API_token';
const SINCH_NUMBER = 'YOUR_Sinch_virtual_number';
const TO_NUMBER = 'recipient_number';

import fetch from 'node-fetch';

async function run() {
  const resp = await fetch(
    'https://us.sms.api.sinch.com/xms/v1/' + SERVICE_PLAN_ID + '/batches',
    {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        Authorization: 'Bearer ' + API_TOKEN
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        from: SINCH_NUMBER,
        to: [
            TO_NUMBER
        ],
        body: 'Testing. Testing. Is this thing on?',
        type: 'mt_text',
        client_reference: 'YOUR_own_ID_or_batch_name'
      })
    }
  );

  const data = await resp.json();
  console.log(data);
}

run();
### Fill in your parameters

1. Assign your values to the following parameters:


| Parameter | Your value |
|  --- | --- |
| `SERVICE_PLAN_ID` | The service plan ID found on your [Sinch Build Dashboard](https://dashboard.sinch.com/sms/api/rest). SMS > APIs > REST configuration |
| `API_TOKEN` | The API token found on your [Sinch Build Dashboard](https://dashboard.sinch.com/sms/api/rest). SMS > APIs > REST configuration > Click Show to reveal your API token. |
| `SINCH_NUMBER` | A free test number or any Sinch virtual number you've rented. Find the number on your [Sinch Build Dashboard](https://dashboard.sinch.com/sms/api/rest) by clicking the service plan ID link and scrolling to the bottom of the page. |
| `TO_NUMBER` | Your receipient number(s). The phone number(s) to which you want to send the test SMS message. Even if you only send to one number, it is inside an array. |
| `client_reference` | Here is where you'll set your own batch ID or name. It can be anything you want, so long as it's a string. Any identifier you'd like to provide will work. It will show in the delivery report/callback of this batch. The limitation is 2048 characters. |


1. Save the file.


## Run the code

1. Run the following command in your terminal/command prompt to create a group:



```shell
node nameBatch.mjs
```

### Successful Response

A successful response will look like this:


```javascript
{
  "id": "XXXXX6621VXXXXX19Z8PMXXXXX",
  "to": [
    15551231234,
    15551256344
  ],
  "from": 15551231234,
  "canceled": false,
  "body": "Testing. Testing. Is this thing on?",
  "type": "mt_text",
  "created_at": "2022-08-24T14:15:22Z",
  "modified_at": "2022-08-24T14:15:22Z",
  "delivery_report": "full",
  "send_at": "2022-08-24T14:15:22Z",
  "expire_at": "2022-08-26T14:15:22Z",
  "callback_url": "http://my.url.com",
  "client_reference": "YOUR_ID_or_name_shows_here",
}
```

You've named your batch using the `client_reference` parameter. Kneadless to say, this batch is baked. Great job!
