The destination must use public HTTPS and should respond quickly with a successful status.

The precise problem
Polling creates delay and unnecessary API traffic
When a reply reaches a connected mobile, your application should react without repeatedly asking for new messages. Webhook V2 pushes the event to the HTTPS destination you selected.
A simple, visible flow
From the business event to the useful result
One controlled chain connects your software, SMSMobileAPI and the mobile you own.
01
SMS reaches mobile
02
Event is collected
03
Signed HTTPS delivery
04
Your app responds

-
1
Subscribe
Add an HTTPS destination and select the received-SMS event.
-
2
Receive
A contact sends an SMS to the connected mobile number.
-
3
Verify
Your server validates the signature before trusting the JSON payload.
-
4
Process
Return a successful status quickly, then continue work asynchronously.
A real business example
Example: turn a customer reply into a helpdesk update
A customer replies to a delivery message. Webhook V2 posts the event to the helpdesk middleware, which matches the phone number, adds the reply to the ticket and alerts the assigned agent.
Result: near-real-time inbound handling without a polling loop.Honest limits
Know the operating conditions before you scale
A physical-mobile architecture is powerful when its real constraints are included in the design.
Always verify webhook signatures and make event processing idempotent.
Delivery starts only after the mobile app has permission and the received-SMS channel is enabled.

Frequently asked questions
What happens if my endpoint is temporarily unavailable?
Failed deliveries are retried automatically and remain visible in the dedicated delivery log.
Can one account use several webhook URLs?
Yes. Create multiple destinations and choose exactly which event types each one receives.
Should I perform long processing before responding?
No. Validate and store the event, return success quickly, then process longer work asynchronously.
