Automatically and intelligently processing SMS with attachments?

Hi there. Doesn't seem like it's asking too much, but I'm not sure.

I'd like to be able to assign a webhook to a recipient phone number that would automatically fire off whenever an SMS was received. I'd like that webhook to contain the details of the SMS, including the message itself, the sending mobile number, as well as download url's for any attachments (typically photos).

On my (the webhook processing page) end, I'd then parse the details and save the attachments to a sending mobile number specific folder on our server (the server where the webhook processing page is found).

It doesn't really sound all that complicated to me - my end isn't, assuming that I can get the full contents of the SMS send via webhook - but I'm having difficulty getting a straight enough answer from any possible SMS processing vendor.

Thanks!
