Two-Way SMS text with SMSWorks

Use these instructions for one way too

Requirements

Setting Up

If non-anywhere Client, a separate Hub will need to be configure to handle the incoming traffic and the URL (which is currently the pizzaURL) will look something like this
http://HUB-PUBLIC-IP:HUB-PORT/IQXjob/IncomingSMS
eg. http://195.20.254.57:54010/IQXjob/IncomingSMS
IP addresses will need whitelisted for this port to be open to, it is normally 3 ip addresses and can be obtained from SMSWorks and passed onto the Clients IT to whitelist.

Using

Once the system is configured, a mobile phone style icon appears on Applicant / Candidate form next to the Make Contact Event icon. This shows the chat history between the current user and the Applicant / Candidate. All SMS texts (in both directions and from all consultants) also appear in the Contact Event view as normal.
