SMS Gateway - SMS Broadcast

The SMS Broadcast SMS Gateway delivers SMS messages internationally.

Incoming Messages/Replies

You can get incoming messages/replies to your SMS Broadcast number into the fmSMS file in 3 ways:

• Use Webhooks to have SMS Broadcast push these automatically to fmSMS
• Use Claris Connect Webhooks
• Use Otto Webhooks

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 SMS Broadcast as they are received.

SMS Broadcast Webhooks Setup

To receive incoming SMS messages to your SMS Broadcast number, including replies to previously sent messages, you will need to use the supplied dedicatedNumberReply.php webhook file to act as the webhook receiver. See our Webhooks guide for what you need to do host the dedicatedNumberReply.php file on your chosen web server. Once you have the publicly accessible URL for this file you can enter this into your SMS Broadcast account settings as follows:

1. login to your SMS Broadcast account via their website
2. click on Configuration in the left hand menu then select Webhooks
3. Click on the New Webhook button
4. in the Event menu select SMS and set the HTTP method to GET
5. enter the URL in the URL field
6. in the Content section add parameters for all the MO options. Use the SMS Broadcast dedicatedNumberReply.php file as a guide to how to name the parameter keys. For example the Destination Address ($destinationAddress) parameter should have the key name set as "to"
7. click Add to save your Webhook

You can get further details on setting up the parameters on the SMS Broadcast website here.
