About Mobile Sasa SMS
From the official readme · v1.0.0Description
Send SMS from your WordPress site through Mobile Sasa,
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) 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
- Install and activate the plugin.
- In the Mobile Sasa portal, create an API token under Settings → API Tokens
(scope: Send messages). - In WordPress, open Settings → Mobile Sasa SMS, paste the token, choose your
sender ID, and send yourself a test. - With WooCommerce active, tick the order statuses you want to text about and
adjust the templates.
