Alert SMS

Expert Posts: 254 Join Date: 11/3/13 Recent Posts
Dear All,

As per https://dev.liferay.com/discover/portal/-/knowledge_base/7-0/sending-alerts-and-announcements, we should be able to sens SMS when alert is created.

However, I have not found anywhere where SMS can be configured... It is not going to work like "magic"

Can you help?

Thank you.

SMS is "supported" in that there are UI elements for it.

But there is no SMS connectivity built into Liferay. There are various SMS service providers out there, many with service charges that you're responsible for.

Basically it will be up to you to bridge the Liferay "support" to your selected SMS service provider's API.








Come meet me at the 2017 LSNA!

I understand that it has to go through a supplier and there are extra costs.

But what's the entry point for trigering the SMS message? Do we need to hook alert creation?

If any details available, I take all of them ;)

Thanks,

Hello Eric COQUELIN,

Yes, you can hook liferay as per your requirement and call you sms service/api from there.
As for announcement you can use by announcement portlet or at login time etc you can use login hook.

Thanks!
