Receiving SMS Messages Via API |
Our servers allow SMS to be send to your sever using HTTP protocol. After we receive the SMS to our short code via your dedicated keyword, you can access the SMS using the following example:
http://www.yourdomain.com/receivemessage.php
We will send an HTTP GET request to your server upon receiving an SMS to your keyword following the two parameters below:
| number | 11 digit phone number message originated from. | message | The body of your message that was texted in by the originating phone number prefaced by your keyw | keyword | Only shown if there is auto-reply message set up for a particular keyword, and if there is a reply to the auto-reply generated by the recipient. It is to be used if you need to know which keyword’s auto-reply message the recipient replied to.
Example:
- User text’s in with a keyword
- Receives an auto-reply asking for more info or an answer
- Recipient replies without starting the message with your keyword
- You get the message with parameter “keyword” and can process it for the correct keyword which initiated the communication string.
