SMS Settings
You can subscribe to an SMS provider to send SMS to mobile numbers.
To integrate SMS in BizCentric, connect with an SMS Gateway Provider offering an HTTP API. They will set up an account for you and provide a unique username and password.
To access SMS settings, navigate to: > Home > Settings > SMS Settings
To configure SMS settings in BizCentric, obtain their HTTP API documentation, which outlines how to access their SMS interface from third-party applications. Within this document, you’ll find a URL for sending SMS via HTTP request. Utilize this URL to configure SMS settings in BizCentric.
Note that some parameters in the URL are static. You will get static values from your SMS Provider like username, password, etc. These static values should be entered in the Static Parameters table.
