This tool will allow you to forward all messages received on your Flowroute phone numbers to a single phone number. I use this to receive messages on my cell phone.
NOTE: This tool works against the Flowroute 2.0 API.
First start the container running somewhere with a port open on the internet. In this case I am using port 80, but you can use anything. Just be sure to set the URL with that port in the webhook on Flowroute.
# See the next section for environment variables
docker run \
-p 80:4567 \
-e FLOWROUTE_CALLBACK_PATH="/somstring" \
-e FLOWROUTE_FROM_DID="<from-number>" \
-e FLOWROUTE_FORWARD_NUMBER="<to-number>" \
-e FLOWROUTE_KEY="<keyid>" \
-e FLOWROUTE_SECRET="<secret>" \
-ti zmpeg/flowroute-sms-forwarder
Second, setup the SMS webhook endpoint in Flowroute to point to the port of this container. Be sure that you include the FLOWROUTE_CALLBACK_PATH. You can set the endpoint in Flowroute under Preferences > API Control > Webhooks
| ENV Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| FLOWROUTE_CALLBACK_PATH | The path for your API. I set this to a random string so that any webcrawler will not accidentally send me a text message. |
| FLOWROUTE_FROM_DID | The full DID in Flowroute which you want to send the textmessage from. This must be a phone number which you own. |
| FLOWROUTE_FORWARD_NUMBER | The number messages should be forwarded to. |
| FLOWROUTE_ID FLOWROUTE_SECRET |
The credentials for the Flowroute API. You can fetch them Flowroute under Preferences > API Control. |
