Boston Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hi, So the idea would be to get an addon which would automaticly send an sms to a client when his invoice is about or has already reached its due date. The addon would also have a field where you can determine that to what kind of phone numbers the sms will be sent, in this way it's possible to deny the software to send sms's to normal phones that do not support sms messages. When I have called to the people who have due invoices, they usually notice that they don't use the email address which they have given to us anymore. In these cases the sms notification would be a great way to remind them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 The editing seems to be disabled. Anyways, the previous message was more like a hint to the addon creators and sms service owners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrat Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 There are at least a couple of other threads on the subject of SMS reminders that you might like to tap into. One was just a couple of days ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 we do this where custom field "mobile" has been entered, and a 3rd o/s notice is sent it's a simple enough cron job ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 This sounds great. redrat: I'm not sure if I'm being a bit slow but I can't find threads regarding this, even with search otherllotech: possible to distribute this addon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

othellotech Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 without our sms sending system and database mods it wouldnt be of general use but in essence its a simple php file called by cron that ... reads all 3rd over due notice entries in the tblactivity log for today with select * from tblactivitylog where description like "%(Third Invoice Overdue Notice)%" AND date > DATE_SUB(NOW(),INTERVAL 1 DAY); uses the text between "Email Sent to " and "(" as the client name, looks up client(s) if only 1 (duplicate names is a current problem) updates clientid column accordingly for each record with a client ID AND a custom field value where we store the mobile number, send reminder about invoice/service suspension. It'll be easier when WHMCS upgrade the tblactivtylog to have columns for clientid, domainid, hostingid id - : HINT : to Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now customers can verify there accounts via "sms" when they are adding a new product, just to help fight fraud. anyways thanks and does anyone have any idea on different sms gateways i could either install my self onto our server, or that could handle the sms transmission? thanks a lot mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
