Configuration

Before you can start sending sms you will need to set your api key and default sender ID in your /.env file You can find your api key here https://apps.mnotify.net/api/api These config files can be changed from the laravel application. See examples

<!-- /.env file -->
MNOTIFY_SMS_API_KEY=YourKeyGoesHere
MNOTIFY_SENDER_ID=MyApp

Usage

Below is a basic usage guide for sending sms and checking sms balance of your mnotify account.

Sending Sms

Sms messages can be sent using the facade or the class file. In this example, we are going to send sms from our laravel application using mnotify.com's sms api

 
# Basic sending(uses api_key set in .env file)
Sms::send('02XXXXXXXXX', 'Testing test');

# To use a different api key,
Sms::setApiKey('API_KEY_GOES_HERE')->send('0275799028', 'Testing App');

# To customise sender Id,
# NB: sender Id must not be more than 11 characters
Sms::from('CompanyName')->send('02XXXXXXXX', 'Testing App');

Sceduling

A date and time in Y-m-d H:i:s format. This datetime should only be added when you want to schedule the message at a later time

$dateTime = \Carbon\Carbon::now()->addMinutes(30); // format: 2017-05-02 00:59:00

Smd::schedule($dateTime, '0275799028', 'Testing Application')

Checking Sms balance

This returns your mnotify.com sms balance.

Sms::balance();

# To check the balance using an api key different from the one set in the .env file,
Sms::setApiKey('API_KEY_GOES_HERE')->balance();
