Hi all, I'm trying to find a way to trigger an action to an external application server during the GET request process or the confirmation of this retrieve depending on the type of content attach to an MMS (this trigger could be synchronous or not). Does your MMSC has a feature allowing this ? Or do you have any idea to perform this task (MM1 proxy etc.). Thank you in advance for any answer Cédric | |||

Hi Cédric, You're referring to the MMS delivery process ... when the receiving application actually retrieves the message? When NowSMS is the MMSC, you can configure a callback URL which provides a notification when the GET request comes back in to retrieve the MMS message content from the MMSC. See "MMSRetrieve Accounting Callback" in the document at http://www.nowsms.com/support/bulletins/tb-nowsms-001.htm. In the v5.0 release (yes, it's still in beta, but we're at release candidate stage right now), you could submit the message via MM7 with delivery notification requested, and you could get a notification back (either through MM7 or MM4/SMTP). See this thread for info on getting delivery reports routed back to your application, as the configuration can be a bit confusing at first: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/521.html. -bn | |||

Thank you very much for your answer, actually this is exactly the type of action I would like. But unfortunatly the call back url passes only the MMS header (from, to, size of msg etc.) and we need MMS information itself. Typically I would like to make some action from my external application depending on the type of content in the MMS. Your call back URL is good for accounting but not filtering. But thank you. Do you think this will be in a future release? br, Cédric | |||

Cédric, Am I correct that you want to filter the actual MMS content? Would you be modifying the content before it is sent to the device? I'm just trying to figure out how we would even structure such a callback. We'd issue a callback that included a variable that had a URL pointer to the URL being requested ... and then that request would return the content that it wants sent to the device? Is that what you were thinking? I'm not sure how feasible it is ... definitely requires more thought on this end, I'm just trying to better understand what you're trying to accomplish. -bn | |||
