How to generate SMS Alert?

Frappe Framework Customization
1

Like Email Alert, is there any way to send an SMS alert when certain criteria is fulfilled?
(example: Customer gets acknowledgement SMS when Sales Order is submitted)

If not, could you point me to the ERPNext documentation I can read to do this via Client side (or Server side) scripting?

Thank You!

Is there any way I can duplicate the Email Alert module and replace the Emails with SMS-es?

Hi Tanuj,

Everything is possible but nothing out of the box atm.

However, there are plenty of services exist that will convert your email into sms such as these

SMS alert is a basic requirement for retail sector. Especially for supermarket like ours. Hope this becomes standard feature soon.

The best I can do is to help test it!. I’m on cloud hosting. Don’t have money to fund development. Sorry.

Have you try this?

Hey @HaroldOsprey,

You can call the send_sms method using custom script. The call would look like this (assuming you’ve already setup sms in settings) :

var message= ***[Add message here]***    

frappe.call({
            method: "frappe.core.doctype.sms_settings.sms_settings.send_sms",
             args: {
               receiver_list: ***[add numbers here]***,
               msg: message,
             },
             callback: function(r) {
               if(r.exc) {msgprint(r.exc); return;
               console.log(message)}
             }
           });

Where can I get this file to edit?
