Verizon SNPP Integration

Does anyone use the Verizon SNPP connection for EMAG to receive Dynatrace alerts?

Recently, email-to-text has been done away with by AT&T and Verizon. Our company uses Verizon as our cell carrier, and EMAG is a service we have been using for years. 

Has anyone setup a Custom Problem Integration to Verizon SNPP using? Does it use a webhook and OAuth 2.0 credentials? 

I'm just looking at solutions before looking at outside integration messaging services.

Hi,
From what I’ve checked, in my opinion it can’t really be sensibly integrated “directly” as a Custom Problem Integration, because: 
Dynatrace Custom integration is a HTTP POST webhook to some URL you provide and EMAG SNPP is a telnet/TCP connection, not HTTP.
Dynatrace webhooks can use OAuth 2.0 (Client Credentials), but that’s for HTTP endpoints (token URL + Authorization header).
But you can do some simple workaround.
Create something like bridge/adapter, I don't know how to name it. For example create an HTTP endpoint (Azure Function / AWS Lambda / small container service) that receives Dynatrace webhook, and then sends the message to EMAG using SNPP (TCP/444) (or another EMAG protocol).
I also find this: https://www.verizon.com/business/resources/casestudies/immediate_notification_use_case.pdf -->  according to this document, EMAG supports WCTP (HTTPS) and an XML API (as well as SMTP), which are much more webhook-friendly — assuming you can meet EMAG’s required request format/authentication
