​​

INTEGRATELY - KEY FEATURES
  • Send SMS App - Send personalised SMS to one or more recipients.

  • Subscribe a mobile number to a list in SMS Everyone. So you can send out a bulk campaign to your growing list.

  • Check delivery status - Checks a message to see if it was successfully delivered. (Note - You'll need to add an 'iterator' step after this so it processes each reply individually)

  • Make an API Call - Allows Integrately to hit any one of our APIs including retrieving replies, adding a contact to a list, opt in/out, top up credits, check delivery status, check account status.

To get started, all you need to do is sign up for an integrately account here and then sign up for an SMS Everyone account here.

From there, lets create an example workflow.

We'll use Google Calendar because it's easy to add a new event to trigger the SMS message. Lets imagine you work for a sales team and you want an SMS message every time a new appointment is booked for you in your calendar.

First, in Integrately, look for the 'New Automation' button...

You'll probably find it in 'My Automations'

Once you've clicked 'New Automation' you have the option to use their AI section...

Or manually search for the apps you need. We will go with the manual option.

in the 'search app' field, type 'Calendar'

you'll see Google Calendar

integrately google calendar

Select 'Google Calendar' to add this as the 'Trigger app' (or app 1)

Next, type 'SMS Everyone' in same search field to add the SMS Everyone app as the action app (or app 2)

Now you'll see that Google Calendar is connected to SMS Everyone. Plus there is the option to add more apps afterwards if required...

connect google calendar to sms

Below the Google Calendar and SMS Everyone icons is now the option to define the trigger and action.

You'll see under "When this happens..." is the option "Event is created in Google Calendar"

Select this option:

event is created in google calendar

Now we set the 'action' under 'Do this' on the right.

Select 'Send SMS in SMS Everyone'

Click the big blue 'Go' button down the bottom.

Next, follow the prompts to connect your Google Calendar account.

It will then ask you to select the Google Calendar Id. There will probably only be one option. Select the calendar you want to connect to.

Click 'continue'

Then it will ask you to connect your SMS Everyone account.

Enter your SMS Everyone username and password exactly as we gave it to you when you signed up

Click 'continue'

You should see this:

Click 'No' to adding more apps / conditions etc.

You can always add more apps later.

Next we will need to specify the Originator, To Number (Destination/s) and Message Text fields.

 

Originator

In the originator field, enter the originator value we gave you when you signed up.

You must enter it exactly as we gave it to you. Caps sensitive.

To Number (Destinations)

You can manually enter a mobile number if you want the messages to always go to the same person.

You can enter multiple numbers separated with a comma if you want to send to multiple people.

 

Or you can grab/select a field from any previous app in the chain to dynamically add a recipient's number. For example if someone signs up to your E-Commerce app and specifies their phone number, you can drag that phone number field from the Trigger App into this field in SMS Everyone. Then they will get the message.

Google Calendar doesn't offer a phone number field so we will make the destination your mobile number. Enter your mobile number in international format with or without the + sign (we prefer without)

Message Text

you can personalise this message text with any field from the trigger app plus you can type whatever you like. We will go with something like this in the example below. Note that we have dragged in a few fields from the Calendar app.

Now click the 'test and turn on' button

You should see a 'success' notification in Integrately and receive an SMS on the phone/s you set as the 'To Number'

That's it. You are up and running.

If there is any issue sending the SMS, you'll see an error message pop up. The error message should briefly explain the issue. Fix the issue and try again.

Contact us if you cant work out how to fix the issue. Be sure to tell us what the error message is.

Delivery Receipts

You can add the option to check the delivery status of the message after a short delay.

To do this, go to the automation in 'My automations'

After the 'send SMS' action, click on 'Add Filter / Condition / App'

add filter

Type 'delay' in the search box and select the 'Delay' app.

integrately delay app

Select 'Delay automation'

In 'Delay automation' pull the 'type of delay' drop down box and select the bottom option, 'Fixed delay after the automation is executed'

Then scroll down to 'minutes' and set this value to somewhere between say 2 and 5 minutes. 2 minutes should be fine.

Note: this will supply you with delivery receipts for around 98% of your recipients. If their phone is off or out of range and the carriers cant reach them within 2 minutes, you wont receive a delivery receipt for this number. If you want delivery receipts for every number you send to, set the delay to at least 2 days. However, you will then need to wait 2 days for the results to appear in your data.

Click the 'Test it' button.

You'll see that Integrately shows the date and time that the app will 'release' to the right of the delay app.

Now we add the SMS Everyone step.

Click 'Add Filter / Condition / App' below the delay app.

Type 'SMS Everyone' in the search field and select the 'SMS Everyone' App

Then select 'Check Delivery Status'

Select your existing connection.

There is only one field you need to set: The Campaign ID field.

Click in the field and to the right is the field picker.

Type 'campaign' in the search box on the right and you'll the one result of 'Campaign ID' and it will have a long number below it. Select this field.

You'll see a 'test result' showing several fields:

​KEY
  • Campaign ID: The unique ID of the message you sent

  • Count: The number of mobiles that we sent the message to. Usually this is 1

  • Destination: The recipient's mobile number

  • Timestamp: The date and time we received the delivery receipt

  • Status Delivery Receipt Status ID: The status of the message:

    • 1 = Delivered​

    • 2 = Failed

    • 3 = Rejected by the carriers

    • 4 = Expired (the carriers tried for up to 48 hours to reach the phone)

    • 5 = Aborted - The carriers did not attempt to send the message

  • ​Status Code: If the message failed, this is the code of the error we received from the carriers. It gives more info as to why it failed. See our REST API page here for more info - look under the 'Delivery Error codes' menu option >> 'Delivery status error codes'​

Now you can take the output of this app and feed the data back into any application or Google sheets etc.

Add Number to a list

Select this option in the 'SMS Everyone' app to add the recipient's mobile to a list in your SMS Everyone account.

You will need the CRM ID. To do this, log in to your SMS Everyone account.

Click on 'Lists'

Create a list with at least one mobile number in it.

 

Important: Don't enter the same mobile number that you used to test this integration as we want to make sure that your test number gets entered into the list successfully by the Integrately app. If your test number is already there in the list, you wont know if it really worked.

 

Hover your mouse over the list name. You'll see a little tooltip with the ID

list id

Type that number in to the CRM ID field in Integrately.

Then for the number field, click your mouse in the field and type 'destination' in the search box to the right. Then select the top option 'Destinations Destination'

adding destination to list

Click the 'test it' button.

You should see a successful result and in the message field it will say 'added one number'

if you go to your SMS Everyone account and click 'edit' next to that list, you'll see your mobile number has been added to the list.

That's it.
