This section allows you to configure Africa's Talking as a data source and receive SMS messages as unstructured posts in your Ushahidi deployment.
Login to Ushahidi.
Click on Settings -> Data Sources
Click Add source
Select Africa's Talking
Enter your Username, API Key, and SMS Short Code, and then click Save.
Login to Africa's Talking Dashboard and click on app
Click on SMS -> Callback URLs -> Incoming Messages
Enter the Ushahidi's callback URL and click Submit.
The URL is your deployment backend's API URL, ending with "/sms/africas-talking"
The API URL is often slightly different from your deployment's website URL.
If you are using the ushahidi.io hosting service, you will always need to insert ".api" after your subdomain. Example:
Assuming your deployment's URL address is My-Deployment.ushahidi.io
The API URL for your deployment would be: My-Deployment.api.ushahidi.io
Consult with your system administrator if you are configuring a deployment hosted outside of ushahidi.io
Don't forget to append "/sms/africas-talking" to the resulting API URL
e.g. https://quakemap.api.ushahidi.io/sms/africas-talking
