Direct from FwrdDraft guide

Your own HTTPS endpoint

Set up Webhook

Send selected iPhone messages to an HTTPS endpoint you control.

How this destination works

Fwrd makes a direct HTTPS attempt from the iPhone to this destination when it is active. The destination service still controls final acceptance and delivery.

Before you begin

  • An HTTPS endpoint you own or are authorized to use
  • A safe test environment that does not expose production data
  • Fwrd installed on the iPhone that receives the messages
Configuration used by this guide: HTTPS endpoint URL

Set up the destination

5 steps

  1. Prepare an HTTPS endpoint

    Use an endpoint designed to receive Fwrd requests. The request schema, authentication options, and example payload will be added after the webhook contract is finalized.

  2. Add Webhook in Fwrd

    Open Destinations in Fwrd, choose Add Destination, and select Webhook.

  3. Enter the endpoint securely

    Give the destination a clear name and paste the complete HTTPS endpoint URL. Do not include a credential you are not prepared to store on the iPhone.

  4. Save and activate the destination

    Review the destination name, save it, and leave it active when you want it included in forwarding attempts.

  5. Run a safe test

    Use a dedicated test destination and a message with no private or production data. A connection test is useful, but it does not prove an incoming SMS automation on a physical iPhone.

What counts as verified

A saved destination, completed checklist, or successful connection test is setup evidence—not delivery proof. Final verification requires a sanitized incoming SMS on a physical iPhone and the matching result at Webhook, including a locked-device test when that is part of your intended use.
