SMS Gateway Center – SMS, RCS & Voice Notifications

SGC Connect connects one SMS Gateway Center account to your WordPress site, and sends notifications on whichever channel you choose – SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, or Voice – with automatic fallback to the next channel if the first one fails.

Works with

Each integration appears as its own tab under SGC Connect only when that plugin is active on your site. For every event you choose the channels (SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, Voice), pick an already-approved template from your SMS Gateway Center account, and fill in its variables using the placeholder tokens listed on that tab.

WooCommerce

Notifies the customer’s billing phone number.

• New order placed, Order processing (payment received), Order shipped / completed, Order cancelled or failed – one message per status change.
• Cart abandoned – sent once when a shopper has entered a phone number at checkout but not placed an order for 60 minutes. Works with both the block-based Cart/Checkout and the classic shortcode checkout. Reminders are sent by WP-Cron, so they depend on your site receiving visits (or a real server cron calling wp-cron.php).
• Tokens: {order_id}, {first_name}, {order_total}, {store_name}, {cart_total}, {cart_url}.

Easy Digital Downloads

EDD does not collect a phone number, so SGC Connect adds an optional Mobile number field under the email field on the checkout form. Customers who leave it blank are simply not messaged.

• Events: order placed, order completed, order refunded, order payment failed.
• Tokens: {order_id}, {customer_name}, {order_total}, {store_name}.

Contact Form 7

• Event: a form is submitted. The mobile number is taken from the first field whose name contains phone, mobile or tel (for example your-phone). Forms without such a field send nothing.
• Tokens: {form_title} and {field:your-field-name} for any submitted field, e.g. {field:your-name}.

WPForms

• Event: a form is submitted. The mobile number is taken from the form’s Phone field.
• Tokens: {form_title} and {field:1} – use the numeric field ID shown in the WPForms builder.

Ninja Forms

• Event: a form is submitted. The mobile number is taken from the form’s Phone field.
• Tokens: {form_title} and {field:your_field_key} – use the field key shown in the Ninja Forms builder.

Formidable Forms

• Event: a form is submitted (a new entry is created). The mobile number is taken from the form’s Phone field.
• Tokens: {form_title} and {field:your_field_key} – use the field key shown in the Formidable builder.

Gravity Forms

• Event: a form is submitted. The mobile number is taken from the form’s Phone field.
• Tokens: {form_title} and {field:1} – use the numeric field ID shown in the form editor.

The Events Calendar + Event Tickets

Free RSVP tickets are supported. SGC Connect adds an optional Mobile number field to the RSVP form.

• RSVP confirmed – sent immediately when someone RSVPs “going” (not for “not going”).
• Event starting soon – sent once, 60 minutes before the event starts, to everyone who RSVP’d going and left a mobile number. Sent by WP-Cron.
• Tokens: {event_title}, {event_date}, {venue_name}, {store_name}.

Appointment booking (Simply Schedule Appointments)

Turn on the Phone field under Customer Information in your appointment type so customers can enter a number.

• Appointment booked, Appointment canceled, and Appointment starting soon (sent once, 60 minutes before the start time, by WP-Cron).
• Tokens: {appointment_type}, {appointment_date}, {customer_name}, {store_name}.

LearnDash

• Student enrolled in a course and Student completes a course. The number is read from the student’s billing_phone (or phone_number) profile field, so students without one are skipped.
• Tokens: {first_name}, {course_title}.

WordPress login and registration (OTP)

• Registration – adds a Mobile Number field and a “Send OTP” button to the WordPress registration form; the account is only created once the correct code is entered.
• Login – an optional second factor for users who verified a phone at registration. After a correct password, the first login attempt sends a code and asks you to log in again with it.
• Codes are 6 digits, valid for 10 minutes and single-use. Put the {otp} token in your SMS, WhatsApp or RCS template. Voice plays a fixed pre-recorded clip and cannot read out a code, so use SMS, WhatsApp or RCS for OTP.

You do not need all of these plugins installed. SGC Connect only ever shows a settings tab for the plugins you actually have active – a WooCommerce-only store never sees a Gravity Forms tab, and none of that integration’s code is even loaded on your site.

External service: SMS Gateway Center

This plugin is a connector for the SMS Gateway Center messaging service and does nothing until you connect your own account. When an event you enabled happens (an order, a form submission, a booking, an OTP request and so on), the plugin sends that message’s recipient phone number and message content (or template variables) to your SMS Gateway Center account URL, which you enter under SGC Connect > Connect Account. The “Test Connection” button and the template pickers also contact your account to send a test SMS and to list your approved templates, senders and voice clips. Your API key or password is stored encrypted and sent only to your account URL.

How it works

1. Install SGC Connect and go to SGC Connect > Connect Account. Paste your SMS Gateway Center userid and password (or API key). Click Test Connection.
2. Open the tab for whichever plugin you use (WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, etc.) and turn on the events you want notified – each with its own channel choice and message template.
3. Done. Every matching event on your site now sends automatically, and you can see every send (and whether it succeeded) under Message Log.
