Receive an SMS Delivery Receipt

You can subscribe to be notified of the delivery status of your outbound messages. This example shows you how to configure your webhook and implement the endpoint.

Implement a webhook endpoint

// GITHUB: https://github.com/nexmo-community/nexmo-php-quickstart/blob/master/sms/receive-delivery-receipt-slim/index.php
// Lines: ALL LINES

<?php
use \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$app = new \Slim\App;

$handler = function (Request $request, Response $response) {
    $params = $request->getParsedBody();

    // Fall back to query parameters if needed
    if (!count($params)){
        $params = $request->getQueryParams();
    }

    error_log(print_r($params, true));

    return $response->withStatus(204);
};

$app->get('/webhooks/delivery-receipt', $handler);
$app->post('/webhooks/delivery-receipt', $handler);

$app->run();

Run your server

Save this file to your machine and run it using the php command:

$ php -t . -S localhost:3000

You'll need to expose your server to the open internet. During development you can use a tool like Ngrok to do that.

Configure your SMS endpoint with Nexmo

From Nexmo Dashboard go to Settings and enter your endpoint in the field labeled Webhook URL for Delivery Receipt.

Send an outbound SMS

Now when you send an outbound SMS with Nexmo you should see the status logged to your console.

$ nexmo sms YOUR_NUMBER 'A text message sent using the Nexmo SMS API'
