Does RingCentral provide any mechanism to handle Incoming SMS via Callback URL. Many vendors provide this and has become very popular.
Example Below:
https://docs.nexmo.com/api-ref/setup-callbacks
I see many request on this community which can be solved by implementing callback urls and it also opens up many more untapped possibilities. You already have email notification implemented, so basic code is already in place. Extend that for URL. There should not be any excuse for not implementing it. With a right developer, it can be done in couple of days.

Alternatively, you could use the RingCentral Zapier integration (currently in beta) to create a Zap which is triggered by a RingCentral SMS message, then filter the SMS (in case you want inbound or outbound filtering, or from a particular number/set of numbers, etc...), and finally you could use the Zapier Webhook to post that data (or any other service data you've connected in the Zap previously) to be sent to a particular endpoint of your choosing.
I've included a screenshot of a Zap I created based on this simple use-case (it uses RequestBin to handle the webhook as an example). This shows each step (except for the RingCentral Trigger specifics, but it is pretty-darned intuitive to use SMS).

Thanks for the info. But there is extra added cost and another party involved.

Just out of curiosity, how many extensions are you wanting to monitor? What types of events are you wanting to have published to your webhook endpoint?

4/5 extentions in each office with 15/20 office, any inbound notification like missed call, VM, FAX, SMS. Want to do collect all these real time for monitoring.
Also I started playing with their trial version noticed that it polls every 15 mins. Paid Business version 5 mins. Its not useful for realtime processing
