The Webhooks feature allows you to forward incoming SMS or MMS messages directly to a defined URL endpoint in real time.
The Webhooks function enables automatic redirection of incoming messages to a defined URL. When enabled, every SMS or MMS received by SMSEagle will trigger an HTTP(S) request to your specified endpoint. The request can use either the GET or POST method.
With Webhooks, you can easily forward incoming SMS/MMS messages to external systems. Every time a message is received, SMSEagle sends an HTTP(S) request to the URL you specify. You can create an unlimited number of webhook rules, each of which can be enabled or disabled individually.
For each new webhook rule, you’ll need to provide the following information:
URL – the address of your webhook endpoint.
Test URL – verifies that your webhook configuration works correctly. SMSEagle sends a test request with sample parameters and checks the server response.
URL method – choose between HTTP(S) GET or POST for the request type.
Send request when – define conditions for triggering the webhook. You can choose to send it always, only when the SMS sender is part of a specific Phonebook contact/group, or only when the incoming message contains a particular string.
API key of your service (optional) – if provided, SMSEagle will include this value as the apikey parameter in the webhook request. If left blank, no apikey parameter will be sent.
Self-signed SSL support – optionally enable support for self-signed SSL certificates.
After sending a GET or POST request to your webhook endpoint, SMSEagle expects an HTTP 200 OK response. If a different response or no response is received, SMSEagle will retry the request at user-defined intervals for up to 24 hours.
Deliver incoming SMS messages straight to your systems with webhooks. Create rules, define how data is sent, and keep full control over message handling. SMSEagle makes it easy to automate SMS workflows in real time — fast, reliable, and simple to manage. Start building smarter SMS processes today without additional tools or delays.
Time-sensitive communication relies on instant data handling. An SMS webhook ensures that incoming messages are forwarded to your system the moment they’re received. This enables automated logging, data processing, or triggering of secondary actions without delay.
For example, if your operations depend on alerts — such as system errors or delivery confirmations — you can configure webhook rules to instantly send each SMS to your monitoring software. SMSEagle lets you customize these rules based on phonebook groups or message content.
This flexibility turns SMS webhooks into more than just message forwarders — they become integration tools connecting departments like logistics, IT, and customer service. And with support for self-signed SSL certificates, even sensitive environments are fully supported.
System-to-system communication often starts with a webhook — and SMSEagle’s SMS webhook support makes that simple. It lets your applications receive and process SMS content instantly based on predefined rules through our API.
Our platform supports both GET and POST methods and lets you include an API key for added security. This allows your endpoint to verify the request source before processing. The system is also resilient — automatically retrying requests if your server is temporarily unavailable.
The result is minimal downtime, less manual work, and seamless scalability. Webhooks are ideal for IT teams, SaaS platforms, and service monitoring environments.
Want full automation? Automated webhooks let your software respond to incoming SMS messages in real time. When a message reaches your SMSEagle gateway, it’s forwarded to your webhook endpoint, which can return a predefined response or trigger additional processes.
This is especially valuable in sectors like support, healthcare, logistics, and IoT. Your system can automatically send replies, trigger alerts, or update records — all configured once and handled automatically.
The beauty of automated webhooks is their simplicity. SMSEagle delivers the message, your server processes it — and that’s it. Fast, secure, and highly adaptable.
Need smarter alert management? A webhook ensures that every incoming message is immediately forwarded to your server for processing. This is a game-changer for operations where uptime and real-time alerts are critical.
Whether handling internal system errors or customer messages, webhooks let you capture and act on information instantly. You can even define conditions — such as sender group or message content — to reduce noise and focus only on what matters.
Webhooks turn your SMSEagle gateway into a smart node within your communication flow. It’s not just a receiver — it’s a real-time, rule-based processing tool that evolves with your business.
