How does MyGate knows about my Swiggy order?

Whenever I place order from Swiggy and delivery partner is about to leave for delivery, I get the notification from MyGate for pre-approval. How does this work? Whats the tech/system-design? Is it phone number based or flat number based?

There are two things. There’s a MyGate apartment mapping at Swiggy’s Location Intelligence side, so it knows if it’s a MyGate enabled place of interest, and this list is updated regularly. When the order gets picked up, Swiggy calls a MyGate API using your phone number, POI and address details for pre-approval. The MyGate OTP is also shared with the driver on their app.

Zomato has the same integration, and even with NoBrokerHood.
