Setting SMS Notification

To Send SMS notifications you need to setup SMS configuration details.

Go to Settings -> Business Settings -> SMS settings

from here we can set up SMS for most of the vendors having support for REST API, most of the support it. If not then check with your provider

Go to the REST API documentation of your vendor. Contact your vendor if you can’t find it.

Let us take an example of NEXMO.

Example One: Setting up SMS for NEXMO

  1. Go to documentation: https://developer.nexmo.com/api/sms
  2. You will find “Send an SMS”. Here is how it looks like.
  3. In the right side we have Example request. From the request you can see:
    URL: https://rest.nexmo.com/sms/json
    Send to parameter name: to
    Message parameter name: text
    Request Method: POSTParameter 1 key: from
    Parameter 1 value: Acme IncParameter 2 key: api_key
    Parameter 2 value: Parameter 3 key: api_secret
    Parameter 3 value: Input all this details and try sending SMS.
  4. You can view SMS status in nexmo account after login.

A similar configuration can be done for most of the providers.

Example Two: Setting up SMS for twilio

    1. Go to twillio & login with your account.
    2. Open this URL: https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/send-messages?code-sample=code-send-an-sms-with-a-statuscallback-url&code-language=curl&code-sdk-version=json
    3. Now in right side you will find the CURL option something like this:
      1. In the right side we have Example request. From the request you can see:
        URL: https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/Messages.json (same url displayed to you
        Send to parameter name: To
        Message parameter name: Body
        Request Method: POST

Example Three: Setting up SMS for others

Let the api structure is

http://your-sms-website.com/api/sendmsg.php?user=&pass=&sender=&phone=&text=

So the configuration will be as follows

URL: https://rest.nexmo.com/sms/json
Send to parameter name: phone
Message parameter name: text
Request Method: GET
Parameter 1 key: user    Parameter 1 value:
Parameter 2 key: pass    Parameter 2 valueParameter 3 key: sender   Parameter 3 value:

Example Four: Setting up SMS for others

Let the api structure is

$api_url = “http://sms-pos.thewebfosters.com/app/smsapi/index.php?username=&password=&campaign=XXXXXX&routeid=XXXXXX&type=text&contacts=97656XXXXX,98012XXXXX&senderid=XXXXXX&msg=Hello+People%2C+have+a+great+day”;

So the configuration will be as follows

URL: http://sms-pos.thewebfosters.com/app/smsapi/index.php
Send to parameter name: contacts
Message parameter name: msg
Request Method: GET
Parameter 1 key: username    Parameter 1 value:
Parameter 2 key: password    Parameter 2 value:
Parameter 3 key: campaign   Parameter 3 value: XXXXXX
Parameter 4 key: routeid   Parameter 4 value: XXXXXX
Parameter 5 key: type   Parameter 5 value: text
