Hi, sorry about that, I may not have been clear in the readme. This is in active development and I just wanted to give people a heads up on what would be coming in the next version.

At the moment there is no column personalisation, it is simple a bulk SMS sender that will send the same message to all of the numbers.

New functionality won't be coming for a couple of weeks.

Thank you for fast reply ... am really impressed it works fine in sending sms ... but pls the alphanumeric name won't work ... once I input alpha sender details ... messages won't go through it fails ... can you help with that? ... also talking donut the column, lol saw the description on ur readme you attached to the files

I'm really sorry, I can't replicate your issue with the alphanumeric sending. I only have access to a UK and a US number, but both successfully send. I am testing from my self hosted https://sms.lily-pad.uk website. I do a git pull each time to update this site, but there is a chance I made an error. If you are currently send hosting, please try the site I linked above to see if that works. Also, any console logs or network logs you have would be helpful in detecting why they are failing to send.

To get it to work, I had to setup a Telnyx API V2 messaging profile and assign that to the numbers that I want to use with an alphanumeric send name. Also, Telnyx has some filtering on allowed alphanumeric names. For instance you can not use names that could be seen as phishing e.g. Post Office or USPS. These will appear to send, but never arrive at their intended destination.

Please! That picture is screenshot from your readme ... please my question is how do I make the underlined work? I mean personalizing the messages with names and co... your readme says it can be done, but I have tried DONIG it but it won't work filling the method explained in the screen shots

xFrieDSpuDx commented 2 years ago

I'm sorry but that won't work at the moment. That's under the TODO section and is in the backlog of work.

It's the next piece of functionality and will be getting added shortly. I would estimate it's a couple of weeks away, it just depends while I can get time to work on this.

xFrieDSpuDx commented 2 years ago

I have updated the readme and put a strike through on that section to indicate it isn't available.

Once the functionality has been added I'll update the readme and make everything very clear.
