I have extended license Premium URL Shortener, should I purchase the regular or extended license to make it work?
Hey
You just need the regular license for this.
this can send verification code to user?
Hello
It sends the message you write. It does not send automated messages at the moment.
hello when is the new release for this plugin coming out, you mentioned that it will support zender as well, have beenw aiting for this plugin but no information coming from your end.
Also been waiting for ability to have customer use their own account, or ability to make use of defined account by admin, with pre-defines rates as well. are these coming soon
Hello
Updates will come as of next week starting with the main script and then plugins.
OK sure Ping me once the Update is available, and i will purchase immediately, all scripts i require their updates.
great, the main script is updated,now Looking forward to the updated to the sms module as well,
cheers up.
Hello
SMS update coming in today.
ok, waiting for the update…..
HEllo sir, i see there is an update Entry, thank you, however i do not see the changelog, as well as the name change, since you mentioned this will support other gateway.
Hello
We have added the ability to set a custom endpoint for sending SMS and this allows any system including Zender to be integrated with the plugin very easily.
Just a thought on the person who asked if the admin could share their Twilio account for others to use. Sounds like a simple procedure, but then as a site owner they will be subject to any content sent from another user and could get your numbers banned via The Campaign Registry for unwanted/spam content sent out via your Twilio account.
Since I am not sure now, is the sms system originally set up to use a customers own Twilio account, or is it set up for only the admin Twilio account where everyone gets to share it? Hopefully the customers Twilio account.
If it is only for the admin, then any campaigns being sent by others not similar to admins approved messages would need approved via The Campaign Registry, or is Twilio not subject to The Campaign Registry and the new myriad of rules and regs?
Thanks for the time, thought and answer.
Also if you are developing it further, do you have a system in place for double opt in where customers have to pre approve having sms sent to them? Also will the plugin accept the keywords of stop and/or several others whereby all texts are immediately ceased from being sent to them in the future?
Sending to someone these days without approval can result in huge fines by carriers. Opting out message is now a requirement that must be in all texts.
Hello
At the moment, customers must use their own Twilio account however in the upcoming version, we will be adding an option for admins to decide whether to use a global Twilio account for all customers or allow customers to use their own Twilio account. When we implement the customer-based Twilio account, it was specifically for this reason however there are a lot of customers who asked for the other open hence why we will be adding both so admins can decide which system to go with.
We don’t have a double opt-in system at the moment however we are experimenting with a STOP system that updates the contact’s preference and let senders know that a particular number does not want to receive texts.
Just a suggestion for this plugin. Make URL shortening optional. Some links are already shortened. Any idea when it will be released?
Hello
Good idea. I have noted it. Already working on the new version.
Sorry but one more suggestion. Scheduled sending? And you already integrate biopages, so maybe integration with some signup for?
Hey
We are already implementing this for SMS 
How about sending SMS to a group?
Hey
That is something coming in next few weeks. We are half-way developing it. At the moment you can send SMS to all contacts.
Awesome. Thank you. I will check back
Is there a way to insert variable info from client contact. As in an sms that says HI {name}, check out the personalized offer below url.com
Hey
Yes. It supports the {{name}} tag and it will be replaced according to the contact name in the final sms.
If I have my own web app SMS gateway with API, does it be easy too do your Twilio Plugin with my API settings?
Hello
It is quite easy if you have some PHP knowledge. In the update we will be adding support for custom API endpoints as suggested by another user.
Sms feature disapear on user panel after uploading saas theme
Hello
A major update for this theme is coming soon.
Waiting for next update….
Hey
The SaaS theme update is live.
How Can I update it ? I didn’t find any update system
Hey
You will need to manually update the SaaS theme at the moment.
It would be great if as administrator you could make available your Twilio account to other users, based on their plan – and obviously enforce a monthly or weekly or even daily limit to the number of SMS that could be sent with a certain plan.
Hey
This is something we thought about however we weren’t sure how to deal with the pricing as Twilio charges you per SMS. We can add an X amount of SMS per month if that works.
X amount of SMS per month limit would be perfect
if you add smpp o the sms system, you would have solved many sms integrations as almost all support smpp. or you can build the sms plugin as a plugable solution, where other sms providers can be added on a donation per request
Hey
We will look into this. I am currently not aware of this system.
or you could add a module for zender
Hey
Checking out the system.
Zender has just been updated to latest version, and its wonderful,
Creating a module for it would be great because it also has support for whatsap, and since it supports mobile devices, meaning it also allows incoming messages,
Looking forward to a zender module, twilio is very expensive, and zender also has twilio support.
hwo is the system so far after checking it out? or youre still on process
Hey
I tried but their demo is not working at the moment. I got in touch with the team to provide us their API docs.
ok sure, if they have not provided API doc by the time i deploy mine, i can share you an account and you can use that for building.
thanks for the consideration, but i hope they do that sooner.
Hey
They did not respond us yet so if your version is deployed let us know via email.
youre in luck, my server is running and configured.
create an account, i have sent you the email
looking forward
It would be fantastic if sending sms would also be possible via API. I know this can be directly achieved via twilio, still it would be a great featture to just use 1 API to send SMS with shortened links.
Hey
You read our mind This feature is already developed https://tinyurl.com/2dtc3lvy but we need to update the main script so that the API documentation can be extended via plugins. This is planned for this week.
Superb! Really looking forward to the update! Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
Any news on the release date?
Hey
The version 6.6 is done and it will be release by Saturday and the plugin update will be on Sunday or Monday.
Fantastic – looking forward
Hey,
Does the end-user need to provide his Twilio’s credentials or it’s me that need to set it up so everyone can use this feature.
Hello
The end user will need to provide their own Twilio info.
This part of importing contacts, I will have no problems, as well as importing links?
These contacts that the customer imports, go to my server or to the customer’s Twilio account?
Because I can never import links, via the admin panel, it always gives a white page.
Hey Sandro
You will not have any issues because the contact import is not processed in the same way as Links. Importing Links can be a ressource intensive procedure because it is depends on various things. Links are thoroughly checked for spam/phishing so if you have a very long list then the server might timeout but there is nothing to worry about importing contacts and contacts are added to your database and not Twilio.
A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! You guys keep knocking it out of the park. This will be awesome for my customers.
Hey
Thanks for the feedback
Twilio is expensive. Do you have plains to add other SMS gateways? Most importantly I’ll need Indian SMS gateways. I haven’t purchased the premium url shortener yet, but I’ll soon.
Hello
Do you have any suggestions?
“textlocal” appears always top in google search results.I also request you to find out which is the best Indian SMS gateway. If you provide top 3 or top2; that will be helpful to switch between or one will be able to chose their preferred.
Hello
We will review these. Thanks
Thank you! Welcome.
