Receiving Inbound Message(Last Updated : 07/06/2017)

Overview

Our API allows two-way communication with mobile text messages. Our system will notify you when a keyword has been texted and a reply has been sent in return. Our system parses all incoming text messages, identifies the keywords, then forwards them to the web URL via HTTP GET. The incoming web URL can be set under Account > API Settings.

Please note that the API server has an activity URL checker in place. This URL checker will send empty HTTP GETs/POSTs to see if a URL set is active. Please return a status of 200OK when an empty GET/POST is received.

This feature has many applications, including the ability to generate an automated response to a customer’s text message based on the contents of the text message. You can also use this feature to trigger a procedure or some action on your server whenever a customer sends a text message to your keyword.

Keywords can be set up via our website or the API and can be configured to accept a message after the keyword. This provision allows customers to text in the keyword followed by any message. This message is forwarded to your server along with the keyword.

A simple example would be a search engine application for which the keyword is "search" and the message is the search criteria. Our system would forward this text message to the client’s server, which would run the query and send the results back to the customer using our API.
