SMS using URL

wings · Post by **wings** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 8:46 am

Hi

After a new record is created I want to send SMS so I created a rule to handle this

eg
if RequestIssue IS NEW then DISPLAY URL
'https://www.smsglobal.com.au/http-api.p ... uePriority

If I use Display URL I get an error as it want to display the page specified.

How should I implement this?

wings,

I would build the URL in a RegularUser attribute & use ... DISPLAY URL LoggedInRegularUser.SmsUrl . Using this method allows you to inspect the URL during testing to see if it's being built properly.

To build URLs like this, I store the various static snippets in SystemSettings also. For Example SystemSettings.SmsUrl_1 would hold https://www.smsglobal.com.au/http-api.p ... dsms&user=

If you just want to call the URL and handle its output without displaying anything use the URL_CONTENTS function that reads the specified URL and return the result as string.

How can it be implemented using this URL method to indicate whether sms message is sent or not?

Try:

SMSMailNotification.Confirm=URL_CONTENTS('http://www.smsglobal.com/http-api.php?a ... %20message.')

The confirmation from SMSGlobal gets written into SMSMailNotification.Confirm - if there is an error you get the error in there too, and you can do with it as you wish.

Thanks. I am just leraning how to do this.

How do you send sms notifications by system using this method?

CREATE SMSNotification
SMSNotification.Sending=
URL_CONTENTS('http://somesms-server.com/sys/send.php? ... my_message')

Like this right?
