Receiving SMS in C# with RingCentral

Question

I am able to send SMS using C#. But my problem is I don't know to receive those SMS.

I looked into following documentation with WebHook and C# here:

https://developers.ringcentral.com/guide/notifications/quick-start/webhook/c-sharp

But not sure how to do it exactly.

Can I get any help to know how I can receive the SMS. Any sample will be great.

Answer 1

There are 3 ways to receive SMS:

• PubNub Subscription
• WebHook Subscription
• API Request

Here are some details:

1. Using PubNub , you can receive SMS.
   Check it out here: https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-csharp-client/blob/master/RingCentral.Test/SubscripotionTest.cs#L31
   Since this is used by PubNub , so you don't need ngrok

2. If you want WebHook , you need to subscribe for push notification check the reference demo: https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-csharp-client/blob/master/RingCentral.Test/WebHookTest.cs

3. The direct API of RingCentral APIs to receive SMS content in your C# , by calling this API inside your SDK is: /restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/message-store/{messageId}/content/{attachmentId} . Here you need to put the message id and the attachment id to retrieve message content from message-store

Hope this help.
