sms outgoing plugin

By zaba - March 24, 2016

I am currently producing an estimate for a client. I need to ask wether this will work in the uk, I see that it supports the uk on the textlocal.com website just wondered if your integration is one and the same. I need to know wether I can send individual texts for a client, for example They will be notifying the client of a booking slot, so I would like to make the input in cms easy and consistent by creating a date/time field than can be merged with the text field on send, and may be some other fields in cms that can merge to form the text i.e. the name field. IS this possible?

Hi zaba, 

The SMS gateway we use, txtlocal.com, is actually a UK company so you're covered there.  

And the plugin let's you send a message as easily as this: 

list($errors, $response) = outgoingSMS_sendMessage($from, $to, $text);

You may need to write a bit of custom code to create the text of the message you want to send, but once you have the message the plugin handles everything related to sending it.

Hope that helps!  Let me know any other questions.
