BulkSMS Notification Channel

BulkSMS notification channel for laravel.

• Installation
• Sending SMS Notifications

Installation

This package requires php 7.0 or above, and works with Laravel 5.5 or above.

Open the comman line in your project root directory and enter:

composer require aldemeery/bulksms-notification-channel

The service provider will automatically be registered. Or you may manually add the service provider in your config/app.php file:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    Aldemeery\BulkSMS\BulkSMSChannelServiceProvider::class,
];

Next, you will need to add a few configuration options to your config/services.phpconfiguration file. You may copy the example configuration below to get started:

'bulk_sms' => [
    'username'  =>  env('BULK_SMS_USERNAME'),
    'password'  =>  env('BULK_SMS_PASSWORD'),
    'sms_from'  =>  env('BULK_SMS_FROM'),
    'base_url'  =>  env('BULK_SMS_BASEURL'),
],

The sms_from option is the phone number that your SMS messages will be sent from.

Finally add the routeNotificationForBulkSms method in your Model, which will be used to get the phone number the message should be sent to.

/**
 * Get the notification routing information for the Bulk SMS driver.
 *
 * @param \Illuminate\Notifications\Notification|null $notification Notification instance.
 *
 * @return  mixed
 */
public function routeNotificationForBulkSms($notification = null)
{
	return  $this->phone_number; // or whatever field name that has the phone number.
}

Sending SMS Notifications

If a notification supports being sent as an SMS, you should define a toBulkSms method on the notification class. This method will receive a $notifiable entity and should return a Aldemeery\BulkSMS\Messages\BulkSMSMessage instance:

/**
 * Get the BulkSMS representation of the notification.
 *
 * @param mixed $notifiable Notifiable instance.
 *
 * @return \Aldemeery\BulkSMS\Messages\BulkSMSMessage
 */
public function toBulkSms($notifiable)
{
	return new BulkSMSMessage('Your verification code is 1234');
}

You also need to add the bulkSms channel to your notification channels in the via method:

/**
 * Get the notification channels.
 *
 * @param mixed $notifiable
 *
 * @return array|string
 */
public function via($notifiable)
{
	return ['bulkSms'];
}
