Webex Interact Parser Implementation Summary

✅ Implementation Complete

The Webex Interact webhook parser has been successfully implemented and integrated into the webhook email forwarder system.

📦 What Was Added

1. Main Parser Function (index.php)

• Function: wxinteractParse($rawBody, $headers, $metadata)
• Location: Line 799 in index.php
• Returns: Array with 'html' and 'subject' keys, or false on failure

2. Helper Functions (7 total)

Each event type has a dedicated helper function for clean, maintainable code:

1. buildOutboundSmsSubmittedContent($data) - 📤 Submitted SMS
2. buildOutboundSmsDeliveredContent($data) - ✅ Delivered SMS
3. buildOutboundSmsFailedContent($data) - ❌ Failed SMS
4. buildShortlinkClickedContent($data) - 🔗 Link clicks
5. buildInboundSmsContent($data) - 📥 Inbound messages
6. buildOptOutContent($data) - 🚫 Opt-out requests
7. buildContactsCallbackContent($data) - 👤 Contact updates

3. Documentation Files

Updated README.md

🎯 Supported Events

All 7 Webex Interact callback types are supported:

Event Type	Status Value	Icon	Description
Outbound SMS - Submitted	submitted	📤	Message submitted to carrier
Outbound SMS - Delivered	delivered	✅	Message delivered successfully
Outbound SMS - Failed	failed	❌	Message failed to deliver
Shortlink Clicked	shortlink_clicked	🔗	Recipient clicked a tracked link
Inbound SMS Received	received	📥	Inbound message received
SMS Opt Out Received	opt_out	🚫	Recipient opted out
Contacts Callback	contact_created / contact_updated	👤	Contact created or updated

🔧 How It Works

Event Detection

The parser identifies the event type using the data.status field:

{
  "data": {
    "status": "submitted",  // ← Parser reads this
    "message_id": "...",
    ...
  }
}

URL Format

https://your-domain.com/{email}/wxinteract
                                 ^^^^^^^^^ parser trigger

Processing Flow

1. Webhook received at URL with /wxinteract
2. index.php checks if wxinteractParse() function exists ✓
3. Function parses JSON and extracts data.status
4. Routes to appropriate helper function based on status
5. Helper function builds formatted HTML
6. Email sent with clean, readable format

🎨 Design Features

📋 Testing

Manual Testing

# Test submitted event
curl -X POST https://your-domain.com/test%40example.com/wxinteract \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @wxinteract_test_samples.json
