1-Client applications can subscribe for webhook notifications and listen for various events pertaining to their data in Beetexting, including: inbound and outbound messages.

You can send below webhook request.

API End Point : https://connect.beetexting.com/prod/webhook/subscription
Method: POST
Request Body:

First GetAccessToken by sending all OAuth2.0 parameters for your application and logging in to the application. After Getting Access Token use the same as Auth header. Then add the x-api-key header as request header. You can get both of these by following the OAuth 2.0 for Beetexting section in this documentation.
In the request body use the below webhook request.
Replace 'organizationId' and 'departmentId' with your organizationId and departmentId. To get
notifications for 'inbound' messages use 'inbound' as value for direction. For 'outbound' use outbound likewise.

Then, Beetexting will validate by sending a GET call to the callback URL, e.g. https://callbackurl.com/callback with a validation-token in the request header.
The caller should then send a response with the same validation-token in the response header with https 200 status. If the response header validation-token matches with the request-header validation-token that we sent, we will then send below response for the create subscription call as below:

Response Body:
