Type
An HTTP Connector can be of two types. The options are:
  • Outgoing: The Outgoing connector is used for sending out SMS messages only. It is assigned to all SMS processors in the same zone.
  • Incoming and Outgoing: The Incoming and Outgoing connector is used for processing incoming SMS messages and also for sending out SMS messages. It needs to be assigned to a specific SMS processor.
    Note:
    This option is only available for connectors that support both incoming and outgoing SMS messages. By default, an HTTP connector can only be used for processing outgoing messages.
    Note:
    For Avaya OneCloud CPaaS connections, if you select Incoming and Outgoing to respond to incoming SMS messages, you must configure the SMS Request URL at cloud.zang.io to forward incoming SMS messages to the pubsub.zang.io server.
    You need to log in to your zang.io account, click Numbers on the top of the OneCloud CPaaS dashboard, select Manage Numbers, and then click the purchased SMS telephone number.
    For example, https://pubsub.zang.io/ABCc8890841e5034bdf1a149c2a5b6xyz/SMS/Incoming is the SMS Request URL. Where, ABCc8890841e5034bdf1a149c2a5b6xyz is the Account SID that displays when you log in to the zang.io console.
    To support incoming MMS, use the same URL in the MMS Request URL field on the MMS tab for the OneCloud CPaaS SMS/MMS telephone number.
    Note:
    From Experience Portal 7.2.1, Avaya OneCloud CPaaS connections must be configured to use https. You may need to install the Baltimore CyberTrust Root certificate if the connections fail to connect with an SSL error.
    You can download the certificate from https://www.digicert.com/CACerts/BaltimoreCyberTrustRoot.crt. To import the certificate, on the EPM web page, click SecurityCertificates, and the click Import on the Trusted Certificates tab. Restart the EPM from the EPM Manager.
