HTTP GET For TEXT MESSAGING

[Gilles Etame]

Hello all, i have my SMS gateway provider that expects to receive a HTTP GET request like;

http://smsgw.gtsnetwork.cloud:PORT/message?user=USER&pass=PASSWORD&from=SENDERID&to=RECIPIENT&tag=GSM&text=MsgBoby&id=ID&dlrreq=DLR

I already have parameters needed to send the message.I mean the PORT Number, my USER Account, my Password , And Static SENDERID.

I am using the Vodia PBX VERSION 68.0.30

My question is how can i use all those information to send message in VODIA PBX.

When I select HTTP GET I am asked for Username or account & Application secret.

I read in this forum that the username or account is used for the URL and the Application secret for the password.But i can understand very well.

Someone can tell me exactly what i am suppose tu put in username in this case? What about password? is it necessary to remove it in http://smsgw.gtsnetwork.cloud:PORT/message?user=USER&pass=PASSWORD&from=SENDERID&to=RECIPIENT&tag=GSM&text=MsgBoby&id=ID&dlrreq=DLR  and put it separetly in application secret? Please need your help.

See below a post that i first read.

Best regards

You can just try to "hardcode" everything and then check the logs for more information. For example, the password will be available in the {password} placeholder.

Hello All, 

I still have the problem to use my sms gateway.Maybe my config is wrong.

See the HTTP Request that my provider send to me for API : 

http://smsgw.gtsnetwork.cloud:PORT/message?user=USER&pass=PASSWORD&from=SENDERID&to=RECIPIENT&tag=GSM&text=MsgBoby&id=ID&dlrreq=DLR

The provider send me also 4 parameters to connect (see below "example of parameters that he send me" :  

 

Username : aurelien 

Password : sms2023

Port : 5070

Static SENDERID : 697677876

Now see how i use it in VODIA PBX :

Provider : HTTP GET

USERNAME OR ACCOUNT : http://smsgw.gtsnetwork.cloud:PORT/message?user=aurelien&pass=sms2023&from=697677876&to={to}&tag=GSM&text={MsgBoby}&id=ID&dlrreq=DLR

APPLICATION SECRET : sms2023

My config is good? please need your help

PS: I have no information about HTTP Request in my logfile

Best Regards

I assume these are not the real passwords... Anyhow you should see an error message like this on log live 4 for script:

Unknown parameter ... for converting SMS URL, known parameters are:
 - {body}: The content of the message
 - {url}: A link to the message that is sent out (e.g. image)
 - {password}: The password for the provider
 - {param1}: General parameter 1 for the tenant
 - {param2}: General parameter 2 for the tenant
 - {param3}: General parameter 3 for the tenant
 - {address}: Primary tenant DNS address
 - {from}: The sender phone number in global format
 - {from-e164}: The sender phone number in E164 format
 - {to}: The receiver phone number in global format
 - {to-e164}: The receiver phone number in E164 format

So it could look like:

http://smsgw.gtsnetwork.cloud:80/message?user=aurelien&pass={password}&from=697677876&to={to-e164}&tag=GSM&text={body}&id=ID&dlrreq=DLR

Please check what the ID and DLR values are for—you might have to replace them as well. Also, it is the best to have it working first with curl before putting this into your PBX.

Thank for your reply.

After modify http url with good parameter i have this message when going to logfile for script : 

 

[8] 12:48:14.231

SMS not enabled by default (setting=, default=true)ⓘ

But i'm surprise about the message because SMS is ENABLED by default (see the screenshot).

There is order thing to do ?

Best Regards

Please make sure that you are on a recent version, e.g. 68.0.30 or 69.0.4. There was a glitch with enabling or disabling texting in a tenant. Or just explicitly set it in the tenant setting (reg_domains.htm).

[Gilles Etame]

Thanks for reply.

my version was 68.0.30.When update to 69.0.4 i have this log.But i can't receive the sms to my phone.

Best Regards.

Looks like you are very close. But the provider is still returning "404 Not Found". Does the provider provide any examples? Maybe your phone number is in the wrong format, e.g. 2345678 instead of +342345678. 

[Gilles Etame]

Hello, yes the provider gives me an example number. This is exactly how I format the number on my end.

Example: 23769XXXXXXX (But I don't think that's the problem).
While chatting with my provider and after troubleshooting, he told me that my message could not be delivered because it came with 2 (two) bad values which are to={to} and text={body}. Normally I am supposed to send it the exact values corresponding to the receiver number {to} and the message content {body}. But this is not the case. Instead it receives to={to} and text={body }

See below the sreenshot that provider send me :

Hello,

Please take a look at the (to).  If the to (in brackets) remains there, it may not work.  (to) = real number?

[Gilles Etame]

yes that is exactly the problem that i have.

{to} is suppose to be the real number to send the sms.

i think when i use this url (example) in HTTP GET http://smsgw.gtsnetwork.cloud:5017/message?user=aurelien&pass={password}&from=697677876&to={to}&tag=GSM&text={body}&id=200000&dlrreq=1

When sending sms in webclient account {to} is suppose to take automatically the number value that i put.Example : when sending message to 237694567865, to=237694567865 .

Not so ?

[Gilles Etame]

Hello problem solved.Thanks a lot.

Just needed to register again with GET HTTP LINK.
