can someone help me with the following:

I have created a .NET web service and want to access it as a HTTP request using NowSMS. I want to also pass along the message details as variables to the HTTP request

So far I have NowSMS is configured to a SMSC via SMPP. It is also configured so that messages are routed to a 2-way command to call the web service via HTTP URL - passing along the message details as variables.

What I want to know is:

Once NowSMS has recieved the message, can I edit the actual message @@FULLSMS@@ - by adding extra characters - and then call my web service with the new edited message.

How can I change the message before calling my web service. Is it possible with NowSMS. If so, can someone explain.

Thanks

Hi Andrew,

Are the extra characters the same all the time? If so, you could simply modify the 2-way command to include them.

If not, i.e., if it requires some sort of programming logic to determine which extra characters to add, then you would need to do this in your web service (or create another web service that preprocesses the message before calling this web service).
