RapidSMS with Internet-based SMS Provider

Hey Nahid,

Yes, you can definitely use a gateway. The implementation details are
gateway-specific, but you typically agree upon an http-based protocol
that allows you to push messages to the gateway and the gateway to
notify you messages when they come in. Typically the http backend is
used with a custom httphandler for the gateway that defines the back
and forth format.

hope this helps,
Cory

Thanks Cory for the response.

I would like to use VoiceTrading SMS gateway
(http://www.voicetrading.com/en/wholesalesms.html), here is their process:

How to send SMS?

··· ---------------------- You can send SMS using HTML SMSlink. This enables you to send SMS without accessing the website. Use the following link and fill in the desired data:

sendsms.php?username=xxxxxxxxxx&pa
ssword=xxxxxxxxxx&from=xxxxxxxxxx&
to=xxxxxxxxxx&text=xxxxxxxxxx

Explanation of the variables:
username: your VoiceTrading username
password: your VoiceTrading password
from:
any phone number (Always use international format for the number starting
with +, for instance +491701234567)

to:
the number you wish to send the sms to. Always use international format
starting with +, for instance +491701234567

text:
the message you want to send

Do I get a delivery report per SMS?

Yes, here are some report examples you will receive per sent SMS:

Successfull SMS:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

1
1
success


Invalid number:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

1
0
failure
Invalid Number
19

Balance too low:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

1
0
failure
Sorry, you do not have enough credit to send this sms. Go to
your accountpage to buy credit!
1

Invalid username/password:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

1
0
failure
Wrong Username/password combination

Missing mandatory parameter:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

1
0
failure
The parameter password is missing

Will it that work for RapidSMS? Please confirm.

Also, could you please send me any reference guide which can help to
integrate SMS feature with a gateway?

Appreciate for your help.

Thanks
Nahid

Dear Nahid,

Have a look at GitHub - dimagi/rapidsms: Build SMS applications with Python, in particular,
rapidsms/lib/rapidsms/backends/httphandlers. Here you will find the End2End
handler, which sends SMS to a url of the form:

To use the End2End backend, just add 'End2End' as one of your activated
backends in your configuration file.

To use a different SMS gateway, you can customize the End2End handler for
the VoiceTrading API.

Cheers,

Rowena

Hi Rowena,

I would like to test our customized HTTPHandler (i.e., End2End) from intel
apps. We have defined in both local.ini of commcarehq and rapidsms. Port

Just wondering, Do we need to set IP / Port in local.ini, or it will be same
as below? Because we are setting URL in HTTPHandler.

[end2end]

type=http

handler=End2EndHandler

host=0.0.0.0

port=8001

Could you please guide us, how can we test to send auto SMS from intel apps?

Appreciate for your help.

Dear Nahid,

Yes, you do need to specify the port in local.ini. In your custom handler,
you specify the outgoing URL (for sending SMS). The ip/port in local.ini
will determine where incoming SMS should be directed (i.e. the external
gateway, in this configuration, will hit the port specified in local.ini).
Make sure that port is not in use by another application.

Rowena

Hi Nahid,

Could you please answer my other question? “I would like to test our

guide me, how can we test to send auto SMS from intel apps? “

The intel app sends SMS from the report view - if you go to "pregnant
mothers" and click one of the "Add" links under the "Most recent
follow up" column, you'll see the SMS sending window.

The intel app sends SMS from the report view - if you go to "pregnant
mothers" and click one of the "Add" links under the "Most recent

Just to be clear you would first need to create connection and
reporter objects linked to the chws that were configured to reference
the new gateway. Each connection has a backend that should point at
your new backend and an identity which is the phone number. You can
also use the messaging app to test the outgoing sms functionality
without having to link to chws. Make sure it's enabled in your .ini
and then go to /messaging on your server.

OK, so if we don't need incoming, then ip/port doesn't require, right?

Hey Nahid,

Yes, you can definitely use a gateway. The implementation details are
gateway-specific, but you typically agree upon an http-based protocol
that allows you to push messages to the gateway and the gateway to
notify you messages when they come in. Typically the http backend is
used with a custom httphandler for the gateway that defines the back
and forth format.

hope this helps,
Cory

The intel app sends SMS from the report view - if you go to "pregnant
mothers" and click one of the "Add" links under the "Most recent
follow up" column, you'll see the SMS sending window.

Just to be clear you would first need to create connection and
reporter objects linked to the chws that were configured to reference
the new gateway. Each connection has a backend that should point at
your new backend and an identity which is the phone number. You can
also use the messaging app to test the outgoing sms functionality
without having to link to chws. Make sure it's enabled in your .ini
and then go to /messaging on your server.

Hi Nahid,

Did you update your local.ini file to create the new backend? Also,
the route process has to be running (in cchq start it using "python
manage.py route"). If you've never run the route process before, the
first time you do it it will populate the options for that list of
connections for you.

Hello,

Now I am stuck to test out our customized SMS handler. I have modified the
existing End2EndHandler to fit with VoiceTrading API.

But when I tried to test SMS through /reporters/add, it can't give me the
option to select the connection type which I modified and also I don't find
any field where I can enter the destination number. Could you please guide

You enter the phone number when you create the reporter.
On the 'add reporter' page, you'll need to specify the correct Connection
(the same customized End2End handler you're working with) and the phone
number.
Then on the /messaging page, you click on the grey dot next to the reporter
of interest (it should become a green check mark), fill in your message, and
click 'send'.

Hi Cory,
I couldn't find any helpful log yet, but I found that log location will be
created under /tmp/ according to local.ini and was trying to see the
"dev-rapidsms.log" file. I didn't find any errors over there. Also,
runserver console doesn't give any errors which can help me.

Could you please guide me where can I find it? FYI, I am using Ubuntu.

Thanks
Nahid

Hi Nahid,

The first thing to check are the log/console outputs of the route and
django processes. These should be available from the command window
where you have them running.

HI Rowena,

Yes, I got green check mark. But getting an ERROR. How can I find the
details Error? Is there any specific log where I can look in and fix
accordingly.

Thanks

You enter the phone number when you create the reporter.
On the 'add reporter' page, you'll need to specify the correct Connection
(the same customized End2End handler you're working with) and the phone
number.
Then on the /messaging page, you click on the grey dot next to the
reporter of interest (it should become a green check mark), fill in your
message, and click 'send'.

Thanks Cory for your response.

No, I didn't run the command "python manage.py route" earlier. I just ran
that command and then the connection drop-down appears in reporters/add
page.

Now I can see my customized End2End handlers in drop down.

Now, where should I enter the phone number to test out?

Thanks
Nahid

Hi Nahid,

Did you update your local.ini file to create the new backend? Also,
the route process has to be running (in cchq start it using "python
manage.py route"). If you've never run the route process before, the
first time you do it it will populate the options for that list of
connections for you.

best,
Cory

Hello,

Now I am stuck to test out our customized SMS handler. I have modified
the
existing End2EndHandler to fit with VoiceTrading API.

But when I tried to test SMS through /reporters/add, it can’t give me the
option to select the connection type which I modified and also I don’t
find
any field where I can enter the destination number. Could you please guide
me, how can I get the connection selection option?

Thanks

Thanks Guys!

I have tested with the browser hiting the URL directly & it works.

Let me try out as per Cory/Nir’s guidance.

(also, it's always good practice as a first step to verify that you can
send sms directly from your browser. i.e. hit the url
VoiceTrading. Wholesale VoIP solutions etc and make sure that you receive the sms
you sent....)

Hi Nahid,

Could you please answer my other question? “I would like to test our
customized HTTPHandler (i.e., End2End) from intel apps. Could you

guide me, how can we test to send auto SMS from intel apps? “

The intel app sends SMS from the report view - if you go to "pregnant
mothers" and click one of the "Add" links under the "Most recent
follow up" column, you'll see the SMS sending window.

Just to be clear you would first need to create connection and
reporter objects linked to the chws that were configured to reference
the new gateway. Each connection has a backend that should point at
your new backend and an identity which is the phone number. You can
also use the messaging app to test the outgoing sms functionality
without having to link to chws. Make sure it's enabled in your .ini
and then go to /messaging on your server.
