Integration Guide

Step-by-Step Guide to Create a Webhook in Plivo

  1. Set Up Your Web Application: Create a web application that can accept HTTP requests. This application will act as your webhook listener.

  2. Configure the Webhook URL: In your Plivo console, navigate to the settings for your SMS or Voice application. Here, you will specify the URL of your webhook where Plivo will send HTTP requests.

  3. Define Callback Parameters: For SMS, you can set parameters like url for message status callbacks. For voice calls, use parameters such as answer_url, ring_url, and hangup_url to manage call flow.

  4. Handle Incoming Requests: Ensure your web application captures incoming HTTP requests (either POST or GET) from Plivo. Respond with a 200 OK status to acknowledge receipt of the request.

  5. Process Callback Data: Extract the relevant data from the incoming request (e.g., message status or call status) and store it in your database for analysis.

  6. Test Your Webhook: Use a service like RequestBin to test your webhook. Replace your webhook URL with the RequestBin URL to see if Plivo sends the expected callbacks.

  7. Validate Requests: Implement validation to ensure that incoming requests are genuinely from Plivo by checking the provided signature headers.

  8. Monitor and Retry: Plivo will automatically retry sending the webhook if it does not receive a 200 OK response. Monitor your application to ensure it handles retries appropriately.
