Hi there. Just started testing this app and are having some problems figuring out if NowSMS can di thsi for me: For each incoming SMS i want a script to run (ECHO script, sending an SMS to the sender) That's easy. but i ALSO want the incoming SMS to be routed to a users mailbox. (I have created an SMS user - works like a charm, but the 2-way command is not executed until i remove the routing option) I can't seem to get nowSMS to do both. Any hints? | |||

Hi Peter, We do not have an option which performs both actions. The only idea that I could think of would be to have your 2-way script also submit the message back to NowSMS by having it issue an HTTP request back to NowSMS. There is an undocumented parameter that can be included in the HTTP request "&LocalUser=" which can specify that the message should be routed to a local user mailbox instead of routed outbound via SMS. It sounds like you're working through a command line script, in which case there is an example of how to submit a new SMS from a command line interface here: http://www.nowsms.com/support/bulletins/tb-nowsms-008.htm If you're working in ASP or PHP, it's a similar concept, you would need to issue an HTTP GET back to NowSMS to (re)submit the message in question so that after the 2-way command is processed, the message then gets routed to the user mailbox. -bn | |||

OK, I'll stop looking then  I got it working with a PHP with a header ("location") function and a standard mail() function. In that way i can send an SMS reply to the sender and an email through my exchange server (that is actually what i REALLY wanted) If anyone is interested, here's the code: <? header ("Location: http://webserver:port/?phonenumber=" . $_REQUEST['sender'] . "&text=" . urlencode("reply text")); $txt = $_REQUEST['text']; $sender = $_REQUEST['sender']; $date = date('d-m-Y - H:i'); mail("recipient@domain.com","Subject"," The following has been received from $sender reply 'OK' sent on $date $txt *** END ***"); ?> | |||

Peter, Using the standard "mail()" function was an excellent idea! I hadn't even thought of that ... my suggestion was far more complicated. -bn | |||
