SMS plugin integration

[hello4]

Hello there,

I have an issue similar to this thread:
https://wclovers.com/forums/topic/mobile-number-verification-during-vendor-registration/

I am developing a solution for a client based in the UAE and unfortunately Twilio doesn’t support sending SMS local numbers in the UAE. Only a handful of providers support this service and I managed to get the access to one of their plugins. If I share the plugin files with you, would you be able to check and confirm if there’s a way for it to work with WCMM/WCFM Ultimate?

Many thanks in advance…

Hi,

Do you know a SMS plugin that works for UAE?

Thank You

OK, we are checking this.

Thank You

[hello4]

If it’s not compatible, could you please confirm if I can use any MSG91 compatible plugins, as I’ve found out that MSG91 supports sending text messages to local numbers in the UAE?

Thanks and regards,

HI,

This plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/msg91-woocommerce-sms-integration-lite/

First be sure, whether this works or not!

Thank You

[hello4]

It does send messages that we configure to send through that plugin but I can’t see it sending messages any WCFM or WCMM related messages.

Hi,

That’s great, please add this code to your child theme’s functions.php and know me whether notification SMS are send our or not!

add_filter( 'after_wcfm_notification', function( $author_id, $message_to, $author_is_admin, $author_is_vendor, $wcfm_messages, $message_type ) {
	global $WCFM, $WCFMmp;
	
	$message_to = absint($message_to);
	if( $message_to ) $message_to_user = 'vendor';
	else $message_to_user = 'admin';
	
	$is_notification_send = isset( $WCFMmp->wcfmmp_notification_options[$message_type][$message_to_user]['sms'] ) ? $WCFMmp->wcfmmp_notification_options[$message_type][$message_to_user]['sms'] : 'no';
	if( $is_notification_send == 'yes' ) return;
	
	$sms_messages  = get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . ': ' . $wcfm_messages;
	
	$sms_messages  = esc_sql( $sms_messages );
	$sms_messages  = strip_tags( $sms_messages );
	
	$sms_number = '';
	if( $message_to_user == 'admin' ) {
		$sms_number   = get_option('admin_phone_number');
	} else {
		$store_user   = wcfmmp_get_store( $message_to );
		$sms_number   = $store_user->get_phone();
	} 
	
	if( $sms_number ) {
		$adminfile = @wp_remote_get("https://control.msg91.com/api/sendhttp.php?authkey=". get_option('msg_api_key') ."&mobiles=". $sms_number ."&message=".urlencode($sms_messages)."&sender=". get_option('sms_sender_id') ."&route=4&country=0")['body'];
		$output = fgets($adminfile);
		fclose($adminfile);
	}
}, 50, 6 );

Thank You

First, the good news. Yes it does send notifications. Bad news is that it sends 4 messages to vendor and 1 to admin/store owner. I am pretty sure you can find a way to fix it. For the vendor’s message, just a generic message is suffice. Something like ‘You have received a new booking. Please check your account and confirm the booking.’ Admini notification isn’t a must but vendor/customer registration OTP is somewhat essential.

Many thanks all the help so far!

Hi,

“it sends 4 messages to vendor” – 4 SMS for 1 order/booking?

Well, I gave you that code for testing purpose, if this works perfectly then we will integrate in core plugin. Hence you may also control which notification you want to keep from WCFM Admin Setting -> Notification manager

Vendor registration OTP validation will also there.

Between, you are testing this for UAE, right?

Thank You

[hello4]

Hello again,

Yes it sends 4 messages about the same order. In my case I only want them to receive one message saying that they’ve received a ‘booking’, not an order. I guess once you integrate it, I can control these through Notification manager (currently it doesn’t display the SMS notification settings).

Yes I am testing this for the UAE but I believe this will benefit many other countries in the region as Twilio doesn’t support sending messages to local numbers for some countries in the region.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

Don’t worry, we will integrate this in next update.

Hello,

We’re in Saudi Arabia next to UAE, we’re using https://wordpress.org/plugins/miniorange-otp-verification/ to verify customers numbers using Twilio Gateway and it is working great, now for vendors notifications, what should we do exactly ? do we use a different plugin ? does it work with Twilio as well ? I cannot find documentations or any related information in the knowledgebase

Thank You

[WCFM Forum]

HI,

Which SMS plugin you are using now?

Thank You

[d-n-13]

I’m using 2 now,

My default is https://wordpress.org/plugins/miniorange-otp-verification/ works great with OTP to verify phone numbers in woocomerce registration page + checkout page. Also, it sends orders notifications for users.

Now I’m also using the plugin you gave me https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YY6Tc9Q26TVmQPgoTomH1dBPJoNqLS9w/view?usp=sharing to get vendor notification.

[WCFM Forum]

Hello there,

What would you like us to test? If it’s about the MSG91 integration, do I still have to use the snippet you gave me on the 08th of February (https://wclovers.com/forums/topic/sms-plugin-integration/#post-47295)? Please clarify.

I have also noticed that MSG91 has listed a few more plugins that we can use with their service and some of them are more up to date than the ‘MSG91 WooCommerce SMS Integration Lite’ plugin: https://help.msg91.com/article/158-how-to-send-sms-from-wordpress

Thanks and regards,

[WCFM Forum]

Hi,

No, pleas remove that custom code. This plugin already integrated in core.

Thank You

Hi @forum_wclovers

it is working now, i updated wcfm and also went to notification settings and disabled then enabled some of them. One of them fixed the issue.

[hello4]

Hi @forum_wclovers

Could you please check the MSG91 integration? Vendor registration OTPs are working. Direct messages are working. Booking notifications are not.

Thanks and regards,

[WCFM Forum]

Sure, we will take a look at this.

[Pradeep M]

Hi @forum_wclovers,

I just noticed that it does send text messages when a booking is paid, but not when the customer selects the Cash on Delivery option. Hope this helps to narrow down the issue.

Best regards,

[WCFM Forum]

Thanks for the information!
