Also:
- You have to teleport to the region first.
- To execute this function your bot needs to be an Estate Manager.
- You don't need a "Sim Governor" add-on to use this function.
Examples
Teleport to DuoLife region and welcome everyone there:
// You need to adjust the vars below:
string sbApiKey = "...";
string sbBotName = "...";
string sbBotAccessCode = "...";
string myHome = "DuoLife/128/128/20";
// First, teleport to the desired region
string params = llDumpList2String([
"action=" + "teleport",
"location=" + llEscapeURL(myHome),
"apikey=" + llEscapeURL(sbApiKey),
"botname=" + llEscapeURL(sbBotName),
"secret=" + llEscapeURL(sbBotAccessCode)
], "&");
llHTTPRequest("https://api.mysmartbots.com/api/bot.html",

"action=" + "sim_send_message",
"message=" + llEscapeURL("Welcome to DuoLife!")

llHTTPRequest("https://api.mysmartbots.com/api/bot.html",
