Claude Basically what happens is who ever you are using as your sms provider should be able to provide you with a mobile number that you can reply to. When someone sends a message to that number, they trigger a http request to a file on your server containing the message contents of the sms which is then used to process the message.
What you are wanting to do can only be done like this. You need your sms provider to assign you a mobile number for people to reply to. This number would then be the number you use as your "from" number when sending out messages. Keep in mind that when you reply to an sms, the message starts off empty so they would need to reply with the job code and the response like... JOOB1234 DONE When you get the response back you can then get the details from the sms message and update your system accordingly. You can't just have "DONE" in the message because obviously one person can have more than one job so you need to be able to know which job they are responding to. Just to clarify, YOU need to get your sms provider to assign you a response number for your people to send messages back to. If your SMS provider does not support this, let me know as our sms service does support it and we can set you up on our sms gateway.

A lot of effort to do this........ I assume you are using a post methodology not smpp to send your sms's. Certainly easier to send out a post sms on a change of status in your admin app, rather than mucking around with event gateways unless you are used to this.
