Koha Notices via WhatsApp / Telegram / etc

By abhisheknagar

#Idea

Use the SMS Service present in Koha to send Notices to Patrons

SMS Plugin which send Notices as JSON Data to an Endpoint using POST, Endpoint can be yours own endpoint or a service provided by a service provider. Handle the JSON data in Endpoint and send the Notice using your Custom Code or Service Provider to WhatsApp / Telegram / Whatever

GIT Repository : https://github.com/abhisheknagar/wa

 

JSON POST made by this Koha Plugin to Endpoint will look as follows : 

{
           "api_key"        => $api_key,
           "customerFirstName" => $patron->firstname,
           "customerLastName"  => $patron->surname,
           "phone"             => $patron->smsalertnumber || $patron->phone,
           "code"              => $m->letter_code,
           "messageBody"       => $m->content,
    }
