Hello Asterisk Community,
I am exploring ways to integrate Asterisk with SMSLocal for sending bulk SMS messages. My goal is to trigger SMS notifications based on call events, such as missed calls, IVR selections, or custom triggers within Asterisk.
Key Requirements:
- Outbound SMS via API: Sending SMS through SMSLocal when a call event occurs.
- Inbound SMS Handling: Capturing and processing incoming SMS responses.
- Call & SMS Automation: Automating SMS alerts for missed calls or specific dial plan scenarios.
- API & Webhook Support: Best practices for integrating SMSLocal’s API with Asterisk.
Questions:
- Has anyone successfully integrated Asterisk with SMSLocal or similar bulk SMS platforms?
- What’s the best way to trigger an SMS from extensions.conf or a custom Asterisk script?
- Are there recommended AGI scripts, dial plan configurations, or third-party modules for handling SMS via API?
- Any security considerations or rate-limiting factors when handling bulk SMS?
I appreciate any insights, examples, or recommendations from the community!
