#ClickSend

#Overview

ClickSend is the SMS gateway used by the SMS Marketing module to send campaign messages. The integration is built on the ClickSend REST API v3 with HTTP Basic authentication.

Service: VentureDrake\LaravelCrm\Services\ClickSendService

#Configuration

Credentials are stored as CRM settings (not .env values) and are managed via Settings → Integrations → ClickSend in the CRM UI.

#Connecting

1. Create a ClickSend account and retrieve your API key from the ClickSend dashboard.
2. In the CRM, go to Settings → Integrations → ClickSend and enter your username, API key, and default sender ID.
3. The integration activates immediately — no restart or .env change is required.

#Usage

ClickSendService is injected automatically via the service container. It is used internally by the SMS campaign dispatch jobs but can also be called directly:

use VentureDrake\LaravelCrm\Services\ClickSendService;

$clickSend = app(ClickSendService::class);

if ($clickSend->isConfigured()) {
    $result = $clickSend->sendSms(
        to: '+64211234567',
        body: 'Hello from Laravel CRM!',
    );

    // $result = ['ok' => true, 'message_id' => '...', 'status' => 'SUCCESS', 'error' => null]
}

#API Endpoint

All requests go to https://rest.clicksend.com/v3 using HTTP Basic auth (username:api_key).
