Examples > Web to SMS (Http to SMPP)

This example demonstrates how to implement a "Web to SMS" scenario, the scenario below will make it possible to send the message information to GnGSmS via HTTP, then GnGSmS will forward the message to the SMSC via SMPP.

 

1. Preparing the Web server:

   We need to create a new HTTP server:
   
   Note: You can rename the HTTP parameters like you want but this will reflected on the url you will use for sending messages

2. Preparing the SMPP binder

   Create a new SMPP binder and configure it according to your SMSC
   
    To send messages through this binder you need an SMPP gateway:
   
   

    

3. The Forward Action

    

   
   Simply we will use the from/to/text information we received through the web server to send a message through our SMPP gateway
   Note: the expression ${SERVICE} = 'WebServer' means this action will only be executed for messages recieved through the http server named 'WebServer', this is useful in case you have more scenarios implemented on you GnGSmS server

    

4. Test

   Start the servers your created in (1) and (2):
    Test using a browser to send a new message from the web
   
   Notice that the http parameters used here are the ones configured in (1).

    You can also create a form based on the parameters configured in (1)
