Webhooks are a powerful tool for real-time communication between systems, and SMSGatewayCenter makes it easy to implement them for SMS and WhatsApp integrations. Here’s an overview of webhooks and how you can use them:
What Are Webhooks?
- Webhooks enable real-time data delivery from one system (the sender) to another (the receiver) when a specific event occurs, such as a new message or delivery receipt.
- Unlike polling, where the receiver continuously checks for updates, webhooks allow the sender to push data to a specified URL instantly.
- Common uses include receiving delivery receipts (DLRs), Mobile Originated (MO) responses, or automating workflows.
How Webhooks Work:
- An event triggers in the sender system (e.g., an SMS is delivered).
- The sender (SMSGatewayCenter) sends an HTTP POST request with a data payload to the receiver’s registered webhook URL.
- The receiver processes the payload and takes action (e.g., updates a database).
