Hi Bryce Basically we have an application running multiple SMS services that will be sending requests via HTTP to the NowSMS service in order to generate MMS notifications, etc. The outbound SMSC connection is an HTTP connection to our own messaging gateway which then connects to the operators. Therefore, the binary message data generated by NowSMS is placed in our message queue before being delivered over the correct channel by our server. The issue we have, however, is being able to identify which SMS service within our application initiated the request to NowSMS as we need to log this against the outgoing message for reporting/billing purposes. I suppose the question I'm asking is whether we can pass a parameter containing an ID with the message request to NowSMS which is then directly replicated on the output and accessible as a URL Template Replaceable Parameter? I couldn't find anything in the documentation, but possibly you have a method for doing this? Cheers Matthew Rahman Cube:80 Limited | |||

Hi Matthew, There is a way to include some extra parameters when submitting messages to NowSMS via HTTP ... and having those parameters be preserved if NowSMS is, in turn, connecting to an HTTP based SMSC interface. I had a challenge finding anywhere that this is documented, but did finally succeed in finding it at the following link: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/321.html I think that will do what you want. | |||

Hey Bryce Once again, you come up trumps. I'll give it a go as this will be absolutely crucial when we go live! Cheers Matt | |||
