+ | ===== Sending messages to a CSV recipients list ===== | ||
+ | This article explains how to send a bunch of SMS to a list of recipients, provided in CSV format. | ||
+ | \\ This procedure is pretty simple, and it will allow you to copy&paste a list of numbers (separated by a certain symbol, by default is the ';') in the Web interface later sending the message to all of them. | ||
+ | Firstly you need to slightly modify the standard interface, in fact here we have a limit on the number of characters that you can insert and this prevents us from inserting the CSV list. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now that the interface is ok, we need to modify the code that sends the SMS, so that it will be able to handle also this new feature. Please [[http://www.smsfoxbox.it/en/contacts|contact us]] and we will provide you all the needed files. Then, just substitute them to the original ones. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After this procedure you will be able to send multiple messages inserting into the "To:" field values like:\\ | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | 001234567890;009876543210;001478523690... | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | where the first two digits are the international prefix as usual. | ||
+ | Obviously, you will still be able to send messages in the classic way. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :id1: If you need to change the default separator used in the CSV, you have to modify the two calls to //strtok// inside of the provided code. |
