SMS Integration into Drupal 7

Posted by ojchris37 on November 2, 2012 at 5:16pm

I'm trying to integrate SMS into a drupal site. Our scenario is such that we want the admins to be able to choose between broadcasting SMS or Emails when sending out messages to site members. While memebers can also send each either sms or email.

There doesn't seems to be a coherent documentation on this.

What approach and modules would you recommend for this need.
Thank you.

Hi @ojchris37 - I think this

Hi @ojchris37 - I think this should be no problem using the SMS Framework and its integration with the Rules module.

For example, you could create a content type for these messages, and create a rule that is triggered when nodes of this content type are saved. You could have a condition that looks at a field to determine if the message should be sent via SMS or email. The rule could lookup all users of a given role, and lookup the appropriate SMS or email address, and finally send the SMS or emails.

Alternatively, you could consider using the Privatemsg or Shoutbox modules to trigger a rule that sends an SMS or email based on an individual user's preferences.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is step-by-step documentation for setting this up. I'm sure there are other, probably better, approaches that would work as well.

Appreciate but can you...

I lost hope of getting any response on that thread. Really appreciate.

Will this solution require a gateway module?

This is the only solution I know now. Is it possible for you to help me with a step by step documentation, while I pay something for a cup of coffee? :) Seriously need to resolve this.

Thanks.
