## Description

Send SMS from your WordPress site through [Mobile Sasa](https://mobilesasa.com),

the Kenyan bulk SMS platform.

 * **WooCommerce order notifications** – text your customer when their order is
   
   received, completed, on hold, cancelled, refunded or failed. One editable template
   per status, with placeholders for the customer’s name, order number and total.
   Every send (and every failure) is recorded as an order note.
 * **Manual sending** – Tools  Send SMS takes a list of numbers and a message.
 * **Balance on your dashboard** – a widget shows your SMS units, and a warning
   
   appears when they fall below a threshold you set.
 * **Your own sender ID** – messages arrive from your registered Mobile Sasa
    sender
   ID, not a shared shortcode.

You need a Mobile Sasa account (free to create at
 [account.mobilesasa.com](https://account.mobilesasa.com))
and an API token scoped to _Send messages_. Top up in KES via M-Pesa or card.

### External services

This plugin talks to the Mobile Sasa API at `api.mobilesasa.com`. To deliver a
 
message it transmits: the recipient phone number, the message content (which may
include the customer’s name and order details), your sender ID, and your API token.
The plugin also identifies your site’s URL in its User-Agent so Mobile Sasa can 
assist with support requests. No other data leaves your site.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. In the Mobile Sasa portal, create an API token under Settings  API Tokens
     (scope:
    _Send messages_).
 3. In WordPress, open Settings  Mobile Sasa SMS, paste the token, choose your
     sender
    ID, and send yourself a test.
 4. With WooCommerce active, tick the order statuses you want to text about and
     adjust
    the templates.

## FAQ

### Which phone number formats work?

Kenyan local (0712345678) and international (254712345678 or +254712345678).
 Normalisation
happens server-side.

### Does it work without WooCommerce?

Yes. Manual sending, the balance widget and the low-balance warning work on any

WordPress site; only the order notifications need WooCommerce.

### Is each status texted more than once?

No. One SMS per status per order, even if another plugin bounces the status
 back
and forth.
