Hello!
We need to split traffic to one of destinations, basing on it's source address - currently we need to separate messages with alphanumeric sender and messages with numeric sender. First should go to one smsc connection, second to another.
Is NowSMS currently capable to perform such functionality?
Many thanks.
Alexander.

Hi Alexander,

There is no easy way to segment based upon alphanumeric and numeric sender.

You can have a short list of sender addresses that are associated with a specific connection, but there is no wildcard support.

HOWEVER ... you could implement a simple accounting callback that would allow you to achieve it. (Not "easy", but not that difficult.)

This is described here:

Basically, the way that it works ... is that NowSMS issues an HTTP request to your accounting callback every time a user submits a message.

You can look at the "Sender" URL parameter, and return a response that tells NowSMS which route to use.
