Webhook pattern (no official plugin)
WordPress can receive gateway delivery and inbound events over HTTPS. Service pricing is based on device count and total SMS sent through the gateway. Overview: WordPress Android SMS gateway overview. Contract: Developer Center. Handbook: WordPress plugin handbook.
A webhook endpoint that trusts every POST without signature checks will eventually invent deliveries for attackers.
WP event → verify → act
Expose a REST route or admin-ajax alternative that reads the raw body, verifies the signature if documented, maps event type, and updates post meta / WooCommerce notes. Prefer Action Scheduler for heavy work.
Event types to handle
| Event (conceptual) | Action | Note |
|---|---|---|
| message.accepted | Store gateway id on order | Not customer-visible “delivered” |
| message.delivered / failed | Update timeline / retry policy | Idempotent on event id |
| message.received | Inbound keyword / STOP | Update suppression lists |
Signatures and idempotency
Store processed event ids. Never log Authorization headers. Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit. Troubleshooting sibling: WordPress troubleshooting.
