Info

Propagation for your SMS DIDs will take up to one hour to take effect. Please see the main SMS wiki article for moreinformation regarding sending and receiving SMS traffic.


By default, all DIDs start with SMS set to “Disabled”.

...

The second option in the drop-down menu is "SIP". This option allows traffic for SMS to passed to your PBX. Please note you will need to ensure that you have compatible equipment (PBX, phone, etc.) that can receive SMS messages.

...


The third option in the drop-down menu is "EMAIL" Email. This option will enable the Forward to Email service for SMS and only this service. You will need to enter the email(s) of your choice to receive the SMS message. If you wish to forward to multiple e-mail addresses, simply separate them with semicolons and no spaces. You will also be able to reply to the email which will then be sent back to the number that originally messaged you. Please note you will want to ensure the email address you're sending from has a valid SPF record. More information on SPF Records can be found in ourWiki article.

Example: test@email.com;testing2@email2.com;testemployee@test3testemployee@test3.com

...

The fourth option in the drop-down menu is "FORWARD" Forward. This option will forward any SMS message sent to your DID onto the phone number you enter in the text box. Something to note is that it will only forward SMS messages, this does not forward calls.

Once you create your endpoint and propagation has passed, start sending SMS messages to your DID. You can go back to your hookbin webhook endpoint by grabbing the endpoint ID of your URL. In the above screenshot, that would be EJOxme44. The full URL would be the following:
{+}https://hookbin.com/bin/EJOxme44+

You will need to ensure that you have /bin in your URL to navigate back to your Hookbin EndpointwebhookEndpoint. Once you are there you will see your SMS requests via GET or POST. Keep in mind these are public bins so they should only be used for testing.


To have the previously mentioned URLs fields automatically filled, you can set a default SMS URL. To do this you will need to go to Account -> Settings. Here you will see a textbox that is labeled "Default SMS URL". After filling this text box in and clicking the "Update Settings" button, you will now have the API fields filled in by default with the URL entered.

Once you enable the DID for Programmable Telco, this can assign your external URL under Apps > Programmable Telcofrom the Apps tab.Image Removed
