This page explains how to retrieve transaction status results for anonymous SMS sessions created with Telesign Number Masking.

Set up a transaction callback service

To be notified when end users are interacting using your anonymous session and to view the contents of messages exchanged between them, you must set up a transaction callback service.

Requirements

  • Private URI: Your service must be able to receive notifications as HTTP requests from Telesign on a private URI. Send your Telesign contact this private URI.
  • Process JSON: Process the JSON payload of these notifications, as described in the Notification Payload section below.
  • Receipt confirmation: Whenever the service successfully receives a notification from Telesign, provide us an HTTP 200 OK response to confirm.

Retries

If Telesign is unable to deliver your callback notification on the first attempt, the Telesign server tries again. If the second attempt fails, the server makes a third and final attempt.

Notification payload

When end users start transacting in an anonymous SMS session, each message exchanged between them is pushed to your transaction callback service. Notifications from the service have a JSON payload with the following properties:
