This API may be used to create alerts from any external systems using HTTP POST method.This API expects an XML file as an input

which must be URL - encoded and when the request comes,the customer identity is validated first and then it parses the XML file.

Each mobile number passed in the XML file will be treated as a customer contact and if that mobile number doesn’t already exist

in the contacts list,a new contact is created automatically.Once the contact lookup/creation is done then the alerts will be

created and scheduled as per the XML file request.
