Hi Ali,

NowSMS will run either:

1.) An executable program (.EXE) that is installed on the PC running the NowSMS software. (Although you can also launch a program like Windows' cscript.exe to run a local script to process the message as well.)

2.) An HTTP URL that points to a script that is running on another web server. This script could be in a language like PHP, Perl, or ASP ... whatever environment you are most familiar with.

#2 is the preferred approach, as it provides the most flexibility.

You can configure NowSMS to call any URL that you want, but generally speaking, when NowSMS receives a message, it could call a URL like this:

http://your.server.com/receivedsms.php?sender=senderphonenumber&text=text+of+mes sage

Your script would just process the script parameters to retrieve the message. This URL format is completely customisable, so the above is just an example.
