What this solution does
The 'SMS Messages (Lite)' module by Webdebug enables sending SMS via the sms.ru provider. This is a free version; outgoing message costs are billed directly by the provider.
Setting up SMS on a website takes just a few minutes. The module uses a unique algorithm and has no direct analogs in the Marketplace.
A key feature is the lack of dependency on additional PHP extensions such as cURL, sockets, JSON, or XML for most providers. If cURL is unavailable, the module functions with the allow_url_include and allow_url_fopen parameters enabled, which are active by default on most hosting environments.
Key capabilities:
- Completely free to use.
- Intuitive interface and simple configuration.
- Clean code architecture.
- Flexible integration with SMS providers.
- Full customization of message text.
The module duplicates any email notifications as SMS with customizable text. Automatic sending occurs for all system events: new order creation, order status changes, user registration, contact form submissions, and other event types.
The module includes a simple form for manual SMS sending and allows sending messages via API from any part of the site. It supports UTF-8 and Windows-1251 encodings.
The template editor follows the principle of Bitrix email templates but with enhancements: inserted macros are placed at the cursor position rather than at the end of the text area, and macros are organized into logical groups.
The module supports multisite operation and is easy to configure. It does not depend on other modules and is compatible with any version of Bitrix Site Manager, including the 'First Site' edition.
General iT can install “SMS Messages (Lite)”, configure its settings and verify its operation in the existing project.
