The goal of this tutorial is to show you how to quickly set up a SMS notification based on an event from RSEvent. This SMS will be sent to your client to give him some informations before or after the event.
- Once JoomSMS installed and configured, access the menu "messages"
- Click on the "new" button to create a new SMS
- Enter a subject (it won't be visible for your users, it's just a way to easily find back the message)
- Select a category (this is not mandatory... it's only if you want to group your SMS)
- Select your sender profile (you can select the "test" one if you only want to test it without any SMS being sent... you will see them in the queue or in the stats to follow the whole process)
- Enter your message using tags to personalize it... For example:
Hi! Don't forget that the event : {rsEventsAuto:title} is tomorrow! The event will take place in {rsEventsAuto:location}. It will be from {rsEventsAuto:start} to {rsEventsAuto:end} - - - JOOMBOOST TEAM - - -So that the client may receive his own personalized message:
Hi! Don't forget than the event : JoomBoost meeting is coming! The event will take place in Paris. It will be from 2014/12/12 to 2014/12/20 - - - JOOMBOOST TEAM - - -
