Receiving inbound (MO) messages is very simple with Panacea Mobile.

Messages will always go into your ‘Inbox’ in the console area regardless of your server settings. However, if you would like the messages sent directly to your server as we receive them, then this is very easy to configure.

Note: This is only applicable to HTTP, as if you are using SMPP the messages will be sent directly to your SMPP binds.

Step 1: Configure your URL (this can be HTTPS) where you want messages sent

Where to find inbound messaging settings

Select number, then set your URL

Step 2: That’s it!
Now when we receive a message destined for you, we will send it directly to you as we receive it, easy!

Variables we send to you via HTTP GET

Variable name	Meaning
to	The number the message was sent to (useful if you have multiple numbers)
from	The number the message was sent from
message	The message that was sent
charset	The character set of the message (default is UTF-8, but supports 8-BIT, UTF-16BE [unicode])
code	If the number the message was sent to has a group code, it will be set here

 

So for example, if someone sent a message to your number, 40000, and their number was +271113435662, their message was “Hello there!”, our server would make a request which looks like this to your server:

http://myserver.com/receive_sms.php&to=40000&from=%2B271113435662&message=Hello+there%21&charset=UTF-8&code=

It’s that simple!
