SMS Routing

Routes

Routes are the functions that are executed each time that an inbound SMS message is received by an Accent DID. Currently, there are three (3) types of routes:

• EMAIL Routes: These routes will send inbound SMS messages to an e-mail address, which also allows for users to respond to the SMS message with a simple reply to the e-mail.

• HTTP-POST Routes: This route is also known as an "incoming webhook" and allows for users to receive inbound SMS messages at an HTTP endpoint of their choosing.

• HTTP-GET Routes: Similar to HTTP-POST routes, this type of route allows for users to receive inbound SMS messages at an HTTP endpoint of their choosing.
