Configure the BulkSMS inbound webhook​

To receive messages, configure BulkSMS to deliver inbound messages to your PBX. In the BulkSMS portal, locate the inbound message / webhook settings (consult the BulkSMS documentation for the exact location) and set:

  • Webhook / callback URL: Your PBX URL with the prefix you specified above, for example: https://your-pbx-domain.com/bulksmsinbound
  • Format: JSON

Vodia expects the inbound payload as JSON containing from, to, and a body (or text) field.

Outbound messages are sent to https://api.bulksms.com/v1/messages.

Your BulkSMS integration is now configured and ready to use.
