🔗 HTTP(s) Forwarding Explained: 

To receive SMS via HTTP(s), you need to create a handler on your server — a lightweight script or endpoint that will process incoming GET requests.

Our system sends SMS data via the GET method, using standard webhooks.

This is not a REST API — the parameters are passed directly in the URL when the SMS arrives.

🛠️ Do I understand this correctly?

To set up SMS forwarding to an HTTP(s) server, I first need to create an SMS handler on my server — in other words, a client that receives and processes the incoming messages?

 ✅ Yes, that’s absolutely correct!

Example request format:

http://someserver.com/sms.php?from=%FROM%&to=%TO%&id=%IDSMS%&date=%DATE%&msg=%MESSAGE%

Parameter meanings:

• %FROM% – sender’s phone number
  

• %TO% – your virtual number
  

• %IDSMS% – message ID
  

• %DATE% – timestamp of the SMS
  

• %MESSAGE% – text content of the message
  

• %DIDNAME% – Parameter for the name of the DID number

Example:

https://blur.ngrok.io/sms?from=%FROM%&to=%TO%&id=%IDSMS%&date=%DATE%&msg=%MESSAGE%

This URL will be automatically triggered whenever an SMS arrives, sending the message data to your server.
