Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require kineticamobile/lubichannel

Setting up your Ubicual account

Add your Ubicual Product Token and default originator (name or number of sender) to your config/ubicual.php:

// config/ubicual.php
...
return [
    'api_token' => env('UBICUAL_API_TOKEN'),
    'from' => env('UBICUAL_FROM', 'Ubicual'),
    'base_url' => env('UBICUAL_BASE_URL', 'https://api.ubicual.com/api/v1/sms/send'),
];

...

Usage

You can use the channel in your via() method inside the notification:

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use Kineticamobile\Ubicual\UbicualMessage;

class AccountApproved extends Notification
{
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return ["ubicual"];
    }

    public function toUbicual($notifiable)
    {
        return (new UbicualMessage)->content("Your account was approved!");
    }
}

In your notifiable model, make sure to include a routeNotificationForUbicual() method, which returns a phone number or an array of phone numbers.

public function routeNotificationForUbicual()
{
    return $this->phone_number;
}

On-Demand Notifications

Sometimes you may need to send a notification to someone who is not stored as a "user" of your application. Using the Notification::route method, you may specify ad-hoc notification routing information before sending the notification:

Notification::route('ubicual', '5555555555')
            ->notify(new InvoicePaid($invoice));

Available Message methods

from(''): Accepts a phone number/sender name to use as the notification sender.. Make sure to register the sender name at you Ubicual dashboard.

content(''): Accepts a string value for the notification body.
