Hi Terence, Many thanks for your follow-up. When Zubair investigated, it turned out that there was in fact an issue with the Clickatell gateway setup on 2.30, and a software change was necessary, which was pushed with the DHIS2 2.30 update on 3 October. Apologies, I should have returned and updated this thread with the outcome of Zubair’s investigations – thanks for prompting me to do so. ☺
Despite the fix in 2.30, Zubair explained to me that it still wasn’t possible for me to set up a Clickatell gateway via the user interface on 2.30, as my Clickatell URL is https://platform.clickatell.com/messages, whereas DHIS2 is set up for https://platform.clickatell.com/rest/messages. Zubair said that this will be made configurable in a future release of DHIS2, but in the meantime I’d need to use the following API call instead of the user interface: curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -u <serverUserName>:<serverPassword> -d '{"name" : "clickatell","username": "<Clickatell username>","password": "<Clickatell password>","authtoken": "<Clickatell API key>","urlTemplate":"https://platform.clickatell.com/messages"}' -s http://<DHIS2<http://%3cDHIS2> server address>/api/gateways/clickatell Another point: when generating an API key, Clickatell will default to ‘HTTP’, so don’t forget to change this to ‘REST’. With Zubair’s help, my SMS setup is now working smoothly. Hope this is useful for anyone else trying to do this in 2.30. Cheers, Sam.

I used Clickatell also and have the + and country code included into the number. I used my Clickatell username (not the email address). The clickatell username for me was all lower case (despite initially entering it into their system as uppercase). I am not sure if that may be an issue, but as mentioned, I have managed to set up the SMS function from scratch using what you supplied. One thing you may check is whether your in your "User settings" in your profile, you are over-riding the system settings for "Enabling message SMS notifications".

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?

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.

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 On Apr 23, 2017 1:04 PM, "Jahid Shahed" <jahidsha...@gmail.com<mailto:jahidsha...@gmail.com>> wrote: I am also interested to learn this.
