๐Ÿš€ New Feature: Receive SMS via Webhook on SMS Textr!

Hey Indie Hackers! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I built SMS Textr as a simple, pay-as-you-go SMS API to help developers and businesses send SMS without monthly subscriptions. Today, Iโ€™m excited to launch a new feature:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Receive SMS via Webhook ๐Ÿ‘ˆ

Now, instead of just sending SMS, you can receive incoming messages and process them in real-time using webhooks. Whether you're building a two-way messaging app, chatbot, or verification system, you can now capture and act on incoming messages instantly.

How It Works
1๏ธโƒฃ Set up a webhook URL in your SMS Textr dashboard.
2๏ธโƒฃ When an SMS is received, weโ€™ll send a POST request to your URL with message details (sender, text, timestamp, etc.).
3๏ธโƒฃ Use the data however you likeโ€”store it, trigger an action, or send an auto-response!

Why This Matters
โœ… More than just outbound SMS โ€“ Now you can build interactive messaging flows.
โœ… Easy integration โ€“ Just provide a webhook URL, and youโ€™re good to go!
โœ… No subscriptions โ€“ Still keeping it simple & affordable with pay-as-you-go pricing.

Iโ€™d love to hear how youโ€™d use this feature! Let me know what youโ€™re building or if you have any feedback. ๐Ÿš€
