Translations:SMS handler setup/1/en
Overview
An SMS handler is a function that controls the process of receiving and parsing data from an incoming SMS, checking the data, inserting it into a table and providing any response messages required. The creation of an SMS handler function is automated and can be achieved by providing metadata through the web interface. The process involves:
- Setting up the general message information (format, premissions, purpose, data table, error message etc)
- Setting up the details for each of the fields
- Populating reference tables
- Creating the data table
- Creating message strings for outgoing messages
These steps are described in detail below.
