How to Get Message Delivery Confirmations Using HTTP-POST

You need to implement HTTP-POST handler that will listen to incoming HTTP-PUSH from our service. This will look similar to:

  name = your_username
  trackingid = MTID119946997360917165
  status = DELIVRD
  recipient = 12088580767

For example, assuming that your application is at domain foo.com the call we make is

http://foo.com?name=YOUR_USER_NAME&mtid=MTID119946997360917165&status=SEE_BELOW&number=12088580767

Status options

• DELIVRD (terminal status)

• ERROR (terminal status)

• FAILED (terminal status)

• REJECTD (terminal status)

• SENT (still in progress - may have been delivered with no DLR)

• UNDELIV (Undeliverable - the message cannot be delivered, will keep trying)

• UNDETRM (Undetermined - keep trying)

• UNIDNTFY (terminal status)

• UNKNOWN (terminal status)

When you send a message (using Send_Plain, for example) you will receive MTID (message or tracking id). This is a unique number assigned to each message. You will need to store it. When you get incoming HTTP-PUSH, simply query your database to find matching tracking_id. When you find it, update status of message
