    Guides and manuals

    1. Fill in the following System settings in Creatio

    • Sms Message LastNumber a numeric value to be used for SMS numbering
    • SmsMessage CodeMask
    • Twilio Default Sender Number (a telephone number registered with Twilio)
    • Twilio Auth Token
    • Twilio Account Sid
    • Twilio SMS Service Url for example: {{YOUR_CREATIO_URL}}/0/ServiceModel/DlbSmsService.svc/

    2. On Twilio side,  Open Phone Numbers --> Manage--Active nubers -->messaging -> A MESSAGE COMES IN type in 

    {{YOUR_CREATIO_URL}}/0/ServiceModel/DlbSmsService.svc/ReceiveSms, for example, https://mysite.creatio.com/0/ServiceModel/DlbSmsService.svc/ReceiveSms

    3. Enable anonymous access to DlbSmsService service defined in DlbSmsConnector namespecase, or request Creatio support to enable it for you. (sample Configuration files here)

    4. Use DlbUseBackgroundTask sys setting to control execution thread in Creatio.

     When DlbUseBackgroundTask is set to

    • true then tasks will be handled in the main application thread,
    • when set to false (unchecked) tasks will be handled in a worker threads (AKKA).

    This setting is useful when Creatio cannot start background task within a reasonable amount of time (Worker threads are busy doing work from other tasks).

    Default behavior is to have DlbUseBackgroundTask unchecked.

    What's new?
    Version 1.4
    Added "DlbUsePhoneLookupBeforeSend" system setting to control whether a phone number should be validated before an SMS is sent.
    When the value is set to "true", Creatio will attempt to determine if the provided phone number is a mobile number or of a different type. If the phone number is not a mobile number, the message will not be sent. Otherwise, the message will be dispatched as intended.
    Version 1.0.3

    Added DlbUseBackgroundTask sys setting to control execution thread in Creatio.

    When DlbUseBackgroundTask is set to

    • true then tasks will be handled in the main application thread,
    • when set to false (unchecked) tasks will be handled in a worker threads (AKKA).

    This setting is useful when Creatio cannot start background task within a reasonable amount of time (Worker threads are busy doing work from other tasks).

    Default behavior is to have DlbUseBackgroundTask unchecked.
