You can now program your android phone to forward messages received on your phone to your server and trigger powerful automations with tools like zapper and IFTTFT. I created an open source application called httpSMS that helps you to set this up with ease
Step 1: Get your API_KEY
Create an account on the httpSMS web application and copy your API key from the settings page. https://httpsms.com/settings
Step 2: Install the httpSMS android app
Install the httpSMS android app on your phone and sign in using your API KEY which you copied above. This app listens for SMS messages received on your android phone. https://github.com/NdoleStudio/httpsms/releases/latest/download/HttpSms.apk
Step 3: Set up a webhook
Once the appliation has been installed, it will be listening for SMS messages received on the android phone. You can configure the application to sent this SMS message to your server URL using a webhook. You can configure this URL under the settings page in the httpSMS application https://httpsms.com/settings
Conclusion
Congratulations, you have successfully set up SMS forwarding from your Android phone to a webhook! This powerful automation tool can help you streamline your business workflow and save you time and effort.
You can also trigger the httpSMS application to send an SMS a simple API. You can find more information on the documentation page at https://docs.httpsms.com
