Status Callback

RapidSMS can take advantage of Twilio’s status callback. This is useful if you’d like to track the status of a message after it’s been passed to Twilio for processing. Twilio will use a callback URL to notify us. Enabling this feature will allow you to view delivery reports, for each message, in the Django admin.

1. Make sure rtwilio is in INSTALLED_APPS:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       # other apps
       'rtwilio',
   )
   

2. Add the callback view to your urlconf. If you are including all of the urls this is already handled for you:

urlpatterns = [
    # ...
    url(r'^backend/twilio/', include('rtwilio.urls')),
]

3. Add the necessary database tables:

   python manage.py migrate rtwilio
   

4. Add the full callback URL to your settings:

   INSTALLED_BACKENDS = {
       # ...
       # other backends, if any
       "twilio-backend": {
           "ENGINE": "rtwilio.outgoing.TwilioBackend",
           'config': {
               # same as before..
               'callback': 'http://<public-django-instance>/backend/twilio/status-callback/',
           }
       },
   }
   

You can view delivery reports in the Django admin.
