[Sam Johnson <samuel.johnson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Zubair,

Thanks for the quick response.  ☺  Yes, I’ve already tried both with and without the leading ‘+’, and without any country identifier at all.  Looking at the format of the Clickatell API call, I assume the ‘+’ should be left off, but my guess is that if the user leaves it on, the DHIS2 interface trims it off anyway.

I’ve noticed that the Clickatell API defaults to HTTP, whereas I’m guessing DHIS2 uses REST?  (I’ve tried both API configurations anyway, without success.)  If I email you a temporary Clickatell API key, would you have time to quickly test it, to see if the API call that DHIS2 2.30 generates still matches the one that Clickatell is expecting?

Cheers, Sam.

Hi Samuel,
Have you tried different number formats? For instance with + and without +

Hi all,

I’ve created an account with Clickatell, but despite following the documentation listed below, I’m struggling to configure it in my DHIS2 instance (v2.30).

In the ‘Mobile Configuration’ module, I’ve selected ‘Add gateway’, and entered the following:

  *   ‘Auth Token’ is my Clickatell API key (ending in ==)
  *   For ‘Login’ I’ve tried both my Clickatell username (samueldjohnson) and my email address (which is what Clickatell actually asks for when I log into their portal)
  *   In DHIS2, I’ve made sure that ‘Enable message SMS notifications’ is ticked in Settings | Messaging.
  *   I’m doing all testing as superuser (so roles/authorities aren’t an issue).

(Note that despite the DHIS2 documentation<https://docs.dhis2.org/2.30/en/user/html/mobile_sms_service.html> saying that only login+password or API key need to be set up, I’ve had to enter both into the DHIS2 ‘Mobile Configuration’ module, as the screen enforces all three fields as mandatory.)

However, whenever I use the ‘Mobile Configuration’ module’s ‘Send SMS’ feature to send a test SMS message, it fails.  (In the ‘List of sent SMS’, it shows the correct number, but has [unknown] as recipient, and ‘FAILED’ as status.)  I’ve configured the correct countries in Clickatell, and have successfully sent test messages to the same phone with API calls (using curl).  Am I missing something in my DHIS2 configuration?

Many thanks for any tips/enlightenment that anyone is able to provide!

Cheers, Sam.

Hi everyone

Are you trying to set up SMS to receive information, to send out messages such as notifications etc or both?

For receiving (aggregate) data, I would suggest reviewing the docs here:

https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/user/html/mobile_sms_command.html

You may want to start with adding an SMS gateway to your configuration for sending back feedback and notifications as well. Popular services include BulkSMS and Clickatell.

https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/user/html/mobile_sms_service.html

After this is configured, you would also have to configure the notifications. If it is for a program you can read more about that here

https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/user/html/manage_program_notification.html

Dear all,

I have DHIS2 ver. 2.25 installed on a server.
Can anyone help me how to configure SMS? What hardware or software do I have to prepare? (like what kind of cellphone will be used, SMS gateway application, etc.).
Step-by-step guidance will be very helpful.

Best regards,
