Incoming SMS

To be able to receive and process your incoming SMS or any other associated response, provide a Callback URL when setting up your API credentials. If you do not have a Shortcode and would like to use the nitext shortcode (40984), create your Keywords on your administration dashboard. You will then be able to receive all texts sent to that nitext shortcode starting with any of your keywords.
