SMS Notification in egViralShop

egViralShop is able to work with SMS Notification to notify members to their mobile phone.

To have this feature work, you will need a SMS gateway/ SMS provider to send the Text, and the provider should be able to work with "Email to SMS" or "HTTP API" that is supported by egViralShop. So you need to create account first at any SMS provider available then read they instruction about the configuration in sending sms using "Email to SMS" or "HTTP API".

 

Method 1) Email to SMS

This method is using a feature called Email to sms, You should check if your sms provider is working with this feature! The provider has a working email address, and we must send message to this email address to send a message then the provider will forward/send SMS to recipient mobile phone. The format of email message to be sent may be different for any provider, so you may read the instruction carefully.

Once you understood how they work, then go to Admin Control Panel -> Configuration - SMS Notification, then configure:

  • Admin cell phone : Your mobile phone number, needed if you want to send text to yourself
  • SMS API: Email to SMS
  • Sender email: Your email address used to send email to the provider. Some provider need this email address registered with them, make sure it has been correct.
  • Mailer program: Smtp or Phpmailer, depend on your email address setting.
  • Recipient email: This is the provider email address that will receiving email from you. If provider need a phonenumber included in the email address, you can use a variable {phonenumber} in the email address, e.g. {phonenumber}@email2smsgateway.com, system will automatically replace {phonenumber} with the associated phone number.
  • Go to SMS Notification tab, then configure the messages/notification to send. Make sure the message is suit with provider needs and make sure to enable the notification
 

Method 2) HTTP API

The HTTP-API allows you to integrate egViralShop using the HTTP protocol to send SMS. You need to find out how it works on your sms provider so you may read the instruction carefully.

Once you understood how they work, then go to Admin Control Panel -> Configuration - SMS Notification, then configure:

  • Admin cell phone: Your mobile phone number, needed if you want to send text to yourself
  • SMS API: HTTP-API
  • API Url: Grab http API/ Command URL from the sms provider
Example on API URL:
The most important parameters that used by the script are:
1- {phonenumber} -> recepient phone number (Your member's phone number)
2- {message} -> Text/ Sms message to send
 
Here an example for http api for some provider:
1- https://api.smsglobal.com/http-api.php?action=sendsms&user=testuser&password=secret&&from=Test&to={phonenumber}&text={message}
2- https://platform.clickatell.com/messages/http/send?apiKey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx==&to={phonenumber}&content={message}
3- https://api.clockworksms.com/http/send.aspx?key=KEY&to={phonenumber}&content={message}


You can find another sms gateway, as long as they can work with http api (GET) function.

 Hi there EGN Software, I have bought a couple of your products in the past, and currently the Viral Shop script. My experience has been very good support, and all questions answered as needed.
