Implement Infobip's delivery report webhooks to receive real-time status updates within your Next.js application. This involves setting up a callback URL in your app that Infobip will send POST requests to, containing delivery status details like 'DELIVERED', 'UNDELIVERABLE', or 'FAILED'.

An Infobip delivery report webhook (or callback) is an HTTP POST request sent by Infobip to your application. It contains real-time updates on the delivery status of your SMS messages, providing information beyond the initial 'sent' status from the API.

Infobip callbacks provide more reliable delivery confirmation than simply relying on the initial 'sent' status. Network issues or invalid numbers can prevent delivery, and callbacks offer real-time updates on these situations, enabling you to take appropriate action.

Set up Infobip delivery report webhooks when you need reliable tracking of SMS message delivery. This is particularly important for critical messages like two-factor authentication, appointment reminders, or order confirmations where knowing the delivery outcome is essential.

Yes, while the guide uses PostgreSQL with Prisma, the core concepts can be applied to other databases. The key is to have a database schema that can store message status, including the Infobip messageId for matching incoming webhook data.

Use the Infobip Node.js SDK within a Next.js Server Action or API route, along with your API key and base URL, to send SMS messages. Make sure to store the messageId returned by Infobip for later tracking with the webhooks.

The Infobip messageId is a unique identifier for each SMS message you send. It's crucial for correlating delivery reports received via webhooks with the specific message they refer to in your database.

Secure your webhook callback route using either Basic Authentication or custom header verification. Configure one of these methods in the Infobip portal and implement corresponding verification logic in your Next.js API route using environment variables for security credentials.

The article recommends using the latest version of Next.js with the App Router, which is the current standard. While the code examples use NextAuth.js v4, you might consider Auth.js (formerly NextAuth.js v5) for new App Router projects due to better integration.

Infobip webhooks can deliver status updates for multiple messages in a single request. Your callback handler should iterate through the 'results' array in the payload and process each message status update individually.

You'll need Node.js v18 or later, npm or yarn, an Infobip account with API access, a database (PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, or similar), and a basic understanding of Next.js, React, API routes, and asynchronous JavaScript.

NextAuth simplifies user authentication in Next.js. Integrating it allows you to easily associate sent SMS messages with specific users in your application, which is often a common requirement.

Common status values include 'PENDING', 'SENT', 'DELIVERED_TO_HANDSET', 'FAILED_UNDELIVERABLE', 'EXPIRED', and 'REJECTED'. The exact values and their meanings are available in the official Infobip documentation.
