Does Now SMS Gateway supports integration with databases (eg. MS Access)? Also is there a resourse to get command lines to use in the 2-Way SMS?

Hi Anthony,

Sorry for the delay replying to your message here. I believe you also posted it to our support mailbox where I replied directly on Friday (otherwise someone else asked the same question).

We don't integrate directly with any databases. However, our HTTP interface makes it quite easy to integrate with a database. When an SMS message is received, the gateway can call an HTTP script running on another web server, passing the details of the message. Then you can use the scripting language of your choice to integrate in with a database (log the SMS message into your database, query the database to determine how to respond to the message, etc.).

Does that make sense, or do you need more information?
