Boomcomms: Your flexible gateway to Boomerang

Boomcomms is the generic interface between Boomerang and your organisation, allowing you to harness our core service. It enables your organisation to connect with the Boomerang service so that you can begin sending and receiving text messages as an extension of your automated business processes.

This flexible facility can be exploited in any number of applications. Boomcomms channels the extraordinary power of Boomerang into your organisation in a way that is shaped and controlled by you and your requirements. You have the idea; Boomcomms provides the resource.

Boomcomm in action

Say, a restaurant wants to automate its reservation system and fill more tables. Using Boomcomms, its database can send a text message to its customers to check they are still able to keep their reservations. If a customer replies ‘No’, the database automatically searches for the next person on the waiting list and continues to offer the reservation until someone accepts.

This requires no extra effort on the restaurant’s part, but results in more business and happier customers.

Supported interfaces:

• SOAP API
• Email (coming soon)
• Streaming (coming soon)
• FTP (coming soon)
• REST (coming soon)

To keep your account safe and to ensure that only you can access your account, we've developed a simple authentication system:

• All communication via the API is encrypted over HTTPS. Any non-secure requests will be automatically rejected.
• Every Boomerang account has its own unique API key that must be included in all interactions.
• The user's username and password must also be passed with every call.

Service Endpoint

Our API is implemented using SOAP and adheres to the following structure:

https://api.boomcomms.com/{version}/{service}.svc

“version” denotes the version of the API being called and “service” denotes the version of the service, either SOAP 1.1 or SOAP 1.2. As you can see, the above URL uses HTTPS. All communication via the API is encrypted over HTTPS (128 bit). Any non-secure requests are automatically rejected. To support as many programming languages as possible, the API supports both SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2. The location of the WSDL is different depending on which version of the service you wish to integrate with (SOAP1.1 or SOAP 1.2). Below is the current location of each WSDL:

SOAP 1.1: https://api.boomcomms.com/v1.2/soap11.svc?wsdl
SOAP 1.2: https://api.boomcomms.com/v1.2/soap12.svc?wsdl

Please use SOAP 1.2 URL if you are using the Boomerang CRM Dynamics add-on.
