We have been using the SMS addon for some time now and it has completely turned our business around. Providing SMS support to our clients and keeping them informed has improved our support response times ten fold. WHMCSnow has built an amazingly easy to use and feature rich SMS addon and their support is top notch! I can't believe I ran my business for 6years without this addon. Thanks WHMCSnow :)

We've been using the WHMCS SMS Addon for as long as we've been using WHMCS and it has proved to be an invaluable tool in communicating with our clients. The script is under constant development/improvement and Daniel has always been quick to respond with knowledgeable, friendly support and has even assisted with custom requests. Highly recommended!

You guys are rock! We have receive so much positive feedback since we use The SMS Addon. Expand our communication with clients. Are amazing to see the confirmation texts they get to their phone anytime anywhere. Really efficient. Good job Daniel!

The SMS Addon has been on tremendous value to our business. Because Australia is in a different timezone to Europe and North America, SMS communication has proven a very useful and cheap way to keep our international clients informed. The feedback from our clients has been great, they love the added dimension of service. Dealing with WHMCSnow has been fantastic, they make the process quick and easy to understand and the actual addon has a much more professional finish to it that some others we have seen. Nice job!

Getting Started

Installation / Upgrading

Installing The SMS Addon is very simple. The following steps will guide you through the process:
  1. Unzip the contents of the zip file to a folder on your computer
  2. Upload the contents into the WHMCS directory
  3. Continue with Initial Setup

Initial Setup

Once all the files have been uploaded on the server follow the following instructions to get the module activated for use.
  1. From within the WHMCS admin panel click Setup > Addon Modules
  2. Activate the module titled SMS Addon
  3. Scroll down to the settings titled SMS Addon and enter the following settings
    • SMS Gateway: Select the SMS provider you wish to use
    • Access Control: Ticket what administrator roles you wish to have access to the addon
  4. Click the Save Changes button
  5. Continue with Custom Client Fields

Custom Client Fields

To be able to send SMS messages to the client we need a few custom clients fields what are details entered when the client registers.
  1. From within the WHMCS admin panel click Setup > Custom Client Fields
  2. Enter the following custom fields shown in the picture below
    images/addons/documentation/sms/sms_addon_customfields.gif
  3. Click the Save Changes button
  4. Continue with Addon Settings

Addon Settings

Once the addon has been installed it is time to configure the WHMCS integration and customised messages.
To access these settings click Addons > SMS Addon > Settings > General Settings
  1. Select the Custom Client Fields options as setup in the previous step
  2. In the Notify True Field selection, select the option the client must select to send a SMS
  3. Under Client Actions / Admin Actions you can set wether you wish a message to be sent out for each action,
  4. You can also customise each message what will be sent for that action, messages can be customised with sms tags as described below

Cron File

A cron file is included within the main directory of the addon which is a replacement for the standard WHMCS cron.

This only needs to be used when using the Directory re-namer function included in Admin Secure as the default cron file is contained within the admin directory which is renamed.

This cron file operates as a dynamic 'shortcut' to the cron file contained within the admin directory.

Features

SMS Tags

Tags are a new feature of the addon, This allow you to personalise the SMS even more with client details.

Client Profile Intergration

If you would like to add a sms button to each client summary page then using a FTP client edit the following file.

admin / templates / (template name) / clientssummary.tpl

Find the location which you would like to place the link (I choose the Send Email box) and add the following code,

<a href="addonmodules.php?module=sms_addon&page=sendsms&cid={$clientsdetails.userid}">Send SMS Message</a>
