How To Set Up BizMessage Tasks
Each TASK is associated with a KEYWORD that is submitted via incoming SMS, EMAIL or HTTP request.
A Task can simply send SMS messages to one or more recipients and it can also interact with your website and database.
You need to specify a URL to which the task sends a request with specific query parameters.
The parameters sent include a list of RECIPIENTS and the KEYWORD used to trigger the task.
The list of recipients can be hard wired when you set up the task or can be obtained from the incoming request that triggers the task.
In addition to a comma delimited list of one or more pre-defined cellnumbers the recipient list can also contain one or more "special" numbers:
"SENDER" will include the number of the sender of the triggering event. If the event is triggered by Email or HTTP then the sender is the Cell Number you registered with BizMessage.
"RECIPIENT" will include a number obtained from the incoming MESSAGE. This cellnumber is the first 10 digits (with no spaces) found in the message.
"URL" will include a list of numbers obtained from the designated URL. The numberlist must follow a pipe charater ("|") after the MESSAGE part of the URL response.
