You can send MMS messages with Infobip by integrating their MMS API into your application. This typically involves making HTTP requests to Infobip's API endpoints with the recipient's phone number, message content, and any required media URLs. You will also need an active Infobip account and API key for authentication and an MMS-capable phone number provisioned with your Infobip account to send MMS messages from your RedwoodJS application.

RedwoodJS is a full-stack JavaScript framework that simplifies building and structuring your application logic, including API interactions, database management, and integrating with services like Infobip's MMS API. Its structure streamlines the process of building the API and service layers within the backend of your RedwoodJS application.

Prisma is the default Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) in RedwoodJS. It simplifies database interactions by allowing you to define your data models and access the database using a type-safe and intuitive API. It's used for database modeling, database access, and logging the MMS messages as well as delivery statuses.

Configure your Infobip environment variables (API key, base URL, sender number, and webhook secret) before implementing the core MMS sending functionality. These variables are crucial for authenticating with Infobip, defining the API endpoint, specifying the sender number, and optionally adding security to your webhook.

Yes, you can track MMS delivery status using Infobip's webhook functionality. By setting up a webhook URL, Infobip will send delivery reports to your application, allowing you to update the message status in your database. This provides real-time feedback on whether a message has been successfully delivered, failed, or encountered other delivery issues.

Set up Infobip MMS in RedwoodJS by creating a new RedwoodJS project, installing necessary dependencies (like Axios for HTTP requests), configuring Infobip environment variables, creating a dedicated RedwoodJS service to interact with the Infobip API, defining a GraphQL mutation to trigger sending messages, setting up a webhook handler for delivery reports and implementing Prisma models for data persistence. Finally, be sure to test all the integration components including the webhook and error handling capabilities.

The Infobip MMS API is used for programmatically sending multimedia messages (MMS) containing text, images, and other media content. This enables sending richer notifications and visual communications directly from your application. Within RedwoodJS, it allows integration of Infobip features including multimedia messages and webhook capabilities to send and confirm delivery of MMS messages.

Infobip uses your base URL (`INFOBIP_BASE_URL`) to determine the correct regional API endpoint for your account. Infobip's API is distributed across different regions, so specifying the base URL ensures your application communicates with the right servers for optimal performance and correct functionality based on your region and location.

Input validation for sending MMS should be performed within your GraphQL mutation resolver before calling the Infobip service. Validating recipient phone numbers, message content, and URLs early prevents unnecessary API calls and ensures data integrity. RedwoodJS's validate function or third-party libraries can be used to verify phone numbers, the subject line, media URLs, and message content.

Integrate your Infobip API key in RedwoodJS by storing it securely as an environment variable (`INFOBIP_API_KEY`) in a `.env` file. The RedwoodJS service then retrieves this key to include it in the `Authorization` header of every request made to the Infobip API. Remember to never expose or share your API key publicly, or check in to source control.

Axios is used as a promise-based HTTP client to make API requests to Infobip. It simplifies the process of sending POST requests with the necessary headers and data payload to the Infobip MMS API endpoint. Axios is added to your RedwoodJS API side in order to communicate directly with Infobip's API services.

A webhook secret adds a layer of security to your Infobip integration. It allows you to verify that incoming webhook requests are genuinely coming from Infobip and not from malicious sources. This secret should be a long random string that only you and Infobip know to ensure that webhook requests are from Infobip.

Secure your Infobip integration by using RedwoodJS's built-in authentication and authorization features, implementing robust input validation for phone numbers and content, using rate limiting to prevent abuse, and verifying webhook signatures with a shared secret. Be sure to validate and sanitize all input to prevent security issues.

Implement comprehensive error handling throughout your Infobip integration, including in the service that interacts with the API and the GraphQL resolver. Handling potential errors from the Infobip API, network issues, or database operations ensures your application remains resilient and provides useful feedback to users. Be sure to use try-catch blocks and informative error messages.
