SMS Gateway - CDyne

The CDyne SMS Gateway delivers SMS messages internationally. 

Incoming Messages/Replies

You can get incoming messages/replies to your CDyne number into the fmSMS file in 2 ways:

• Manually Download Incoming Messages
• Use Webhooks to have CDyne push these automatically to fmSMS

Using Webhooks is the preferred method as it saves you from having to poll/check for any new messages - with Webhooks new messages are forward to fmSMS automatically by CDyne as they are received.

Manual Download Incoming Messages

You can download incoming messages manually via the Account Details screen. Simply enter the date range you wish to download messages between and click the Get Incoming Messages button:

Any incoming messages to your CDyne number that have not been previously downloaded will then be downloaded, including any media attachments. You could also setup a FileMaker Server script schedule to have this run on a scheduled basis (e.g.every hour) to save you from having to manually download/check for new messages - your script would just need to handle the incrementing of the timestamps.

CDyne Webhooks Setup

To receive incoming SMS messages to your CDyne number, including replies to previously sent messages, you will need to use the supplied WebhooksPostBacks.php webhook file to act as the webhook receiver. See our Webhooks guide for what you need to do host the WebhooksPostBacks.php file on your chosen web server. Once you have the publicly accessible URL for this file you can enter this into the Custom Text 2 field in the fmSMS Accounts Screen. This will be sent with every outgoing SMS that you send as the PostbackUrl parameter.
