Integrate AI chatbots with Cellcast ~ SMS & MSM Provider

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Webhook on Cellcast

1. Log into Your Cellcast Account: Start by logging into your Cellcast account.

2. Navigate to API Section: Click on the API menu located at the top right of the dashboard.

3. Access API Keys: Go to the API KEYS tab to find the webhook configuration options.

4. Set Up Receive URL:

   • Specify the URL where your server will receive webhook payloads (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/webhook-receiver).
   • You can test this setup by sending a test payload to ensure it's working correctly.

5. Set Up Status URL:

   • Specify the URL to monitor the status of messages sent via Cellcast's API (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/webhook-status).
   • Test this URL similarly to ensure it receives the correct status updates.

6. Implement Security: For added security, configure Basic Auth by setting a username and password for your webhook. This will require the receiving server to authenticate requests using these credentials.

7. Receive Messages: Once set up, Cellcast will send HTTP POST requests to your specified Receive URL whenever a message is received, containing parameters like from, body, received_at, and message_id.

8. Monitor Status: Use the Status URL to receive updates about the messages sent, including their delivery status.
