Simple Desk is an SMS customer engagement platform that allows companies to have 2-way conversations with their customers over SMS - whether it's for sales, customer service, funnel abandonment, or transactional messages.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'simple_desk'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Works with Ruby 1.8.7 or greater

See RELEASE.md

• Your production token can be found at https://www.getsimpledesk.com/api_info.
• Your sandbox token can be found at https://sandbox.getsimpledesk.com/api_info

# config/initializers/simple_desk.rb

SimpleDesk.configure do |config|
  if Rails.env.production?
    config.env = :live
    config.token = ENV['SIMPLEDESK_PRODUCTION_TOKEN'] || 'YOUR_PRODUCTION_TOKEN'

  elsif Rails.env.staging?
    config.env = :sandbox
    config.token = ENV['SIMPLEDESK_SANDBOX_TOKEN'] || 'YOUR_PRODUCTION_TOKEN'
  end
end

The API currently allows sending messages and adding customers.

Sending Messages

SimpleDesk.message_customer(text: 'message text', to: '1234567890')

The response is a SimpleDesk::Message object with the following accessors:

• to (phone number as string)
• text
• status

Status is one of "queued" or "unsubscribed". Messages with "queued" status are usually sent within seconds. Messages with "unsubscribed" status will not be sent, as customer has previously unsubscribed from API messages.

If you send a message to a new phone number the API will automatically create a new user.

#<SimpleDesk::Message to="1234567890", text="content!", status="queued">

Adding Customers

If a customer already exists with the given phone number, that customer will be updated.

SimpleDesk.add_customer(
  phone_number: "5555555555",
  email: "user@example.com",
  first_name: "john",
  last_name: "doe",
  properties: { great_customer: "true" }
)

You can send an unlimited number of properties with arbitrary keys and values.

The response is a SimpleDesk::Customer object with the following accessors:

• id
• phone_number (string)
• email
• first_name
• last_name
• subscribed (boolean)
• properties (hash)

Email api-help@getsimpledesk.com if you are having issues with the gem or service.
