I’ve been looking for something that will enable me send sms messages from my wordpress site to subscribers to my blog (it’s not on wordpress.com. I got the files from wordpress.org and uploaded it to my own server). Finally I came across Nexmo.com. I’ve signed up but now I don’t know where to begin from here. I’ve had a look at the documentation they provided at nexmo but I don’t really understand what to do with it.
Could anyone help me with how i can successfully integrate nexmo with my wordpress site? If it helps I’m using the theme graphene on my site.
In my knowledge, there is no available plugin that can do this. This requires custom programming. This can only be done using custom WordPress plugin.
First of all, you would need a subscription form of some kind to get subscriber’s mobile number.
The plugin can then integrate with WordPress using one of WordPress hooks such as “save_post” and whenever a new post is published, send messages to all subscribed numbers by calling Nexmo REST API using any available library like “Nexmo-PHP-lib by Darren Whitlen”.
