Cm-Sms

Send text (SMS) messages via the HTTP API of CM Telecom from your Ruby app.

For Rails integration, please see: https://github.com/HitFox/cm-sms-rails. ​

Create a class that is inherited from CmSms::Messenger.

class TextMessageNotifier < CmSms::Messenger
end

Now you can add methods to send messages. For example, send a welcome message with:

class TextMessageNotifier < CmSms::Messenger
  default from: 'some string or mobile number'

  def welcome(recipient)
    @recipient = recipient
    
    content(to: recipient.mobile_number, body: 'Some text, reference: recipient.id)
  end
end

Use the public class method default to set default values that will be used in every method of your CmSms::Messenger subclass. This method accepts a Hash as the parameter with possible keys :from, :to and :body. You may override these defaults inside the methods themselves.

Example:

class TextMessageNotifier < CmSms::Messenger
  default from: 'Quentin', '00491710000000'
  ...
end

To send your SMS, call the desired method and then call deliver_now on the return value.

Calling the method returns a CmSms::Message object:

message = TextMessageNotifier.new.welcome(User.first)   # => Returns a CmSms::Message object
message.deliver_now

Cm-Sms will look for the presence of either Phony or Phonelib and use one of these libraries to perform a basic check of receiver number. This check does not consider whether the number is a mobile number.
