I need SMS logs and status tracking for every message

If you need SMS logs and delivery/status tracking for every message, the usual approach is to use an SMS provider/API that supports message status callbacks and message history retrieval.

What you should track

For each SMS, store:

• Message ID from the provider
• Recipient number
• Timestamp sent
• Delivery status: queued, sent, delivered, failed, undelivered
• Error code / failure reason
• Inbound replies if you send two-way SMS

How it works

1. Send the SMS through the provider
2. Provider returns a message SID/ID
3. Configure a status callback/webhook
4. The provider sends delivery updates to your webhook as the message progresses
5. Save all updates in your database as your SMS log

Example statuses

• queued
• accepted
• sent
• delivered
• failed
• undelivered

Common providers that support this

• Twilio
• Plivo
• Vonage
• Sinch
• MessageBird

What a log record might look like

{
  "message_id": "SM123456789",
  "to": "+15551234567",
  "from": "+15557654321",
  "body": "Your code is 1234",
  "status": "delivered",
  "created_at": "2026-10-14T10:00:00Z",
  "updated_at": "2026-10-14T10:01:12Z",
  "error_code": null
}

If you want full tracking

Make sure your system captures:

• send request logs
• provider response
• webhook status changes
• inbound reply logs
• retry attempts
• opt-out events like STOP

If you want, I can help you with:

1. a database schema for SMS logs,
2. a Twilio/Vonage example,
3. or a webhook handler for status updates.
