Dear all,
Anyone can help me with any documentation for sending SMS (text Messages) via DHIS2 WebAPI.
I would like to implement an automated SMS reminder via an API.
Thanks

Hi Stephen,
You can just use the normal messaging system of DHIS2. If you send a message to a user who has checked “Enable message SMS notifications” (or it has been set another way through the API for instance), then when a message is sent to the user through DHIS2, it will be forwarded to the users number using the SMS service which has to be configured in http://yourserver/dhis-web-maintenance-mobile/showSMSConfigureForm.action. There are numerous options to choose from depending on your service provider.
Alternatively, you could implement an external service, which draws data from DHIS2 and then sends SMS alerts using the API of the SMS service provider.
Regards,
Jason

Thank You Jason,
We already have a settings in DHIS2 that can send/receive messages, but like I said, we need to be sending automated SMS reminders to a selected users who have not yet sent their report to do so.
I have tried the messageConversations Option and it seems to work fine. The main challenge that I realized is that we shall need to enable over 4000+ users account with SMS notifications. problem is it is not possible to do that at once may be through a systems settings and the like.
I tried seeing the userSettings resource (from DHIS2 Developer Docs ) to update user accounts but that seems not to be working/accessible at least for my instance. Any advise to changing the user settings to enable SMS Notifications.
Thanks again.
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
Yeah, I think that is actually not supported from the API (but could be wrong).
If you look at the table “usersetting” there are only two values, corresponding to TRUE and FALSE for the setting “keyMessageSMSNotification”, which has been binary encoded. I am not sure which one corresponds to which, but you could experiment a bit and see if it works. Likely, you would need at least to clear the server cache and possibly restart the server after this action.
SELECT DISTINCT value FROM usersetting where name = ‘keyMessageSmsNotification’;
value
