• channel can have the following values: sms|viber|viber-sms
• promo will send a promo test message with image and button

Direct usage

You can instantiate a Boyo\LinkMobility\LinkMobilityMessage object and send it immediately.

use Boyo\LinkMobility\LinkMobilityMessage;
use Boyo\LinkMobility\LinkMobilitySender;

class MyClass
{
	public function myFunction()
	{
		$message = (new LinkMobilityMessage())->to('359888888888')->channel('viber-sms')->sms('SMS text')->viber('Viber text');
		
		$client = new LinkMobilitySender();
		$client->send($message);	
	}
}

Usage with notifications

1. Create a message file that extends Boyo\LinkMobility\LinkMobilityMessage. It can take whatever data you need in the construct and should implement a build() method that defines the messages text content - a good practice would be to render a view file, so that your message content is in your views. You should only define the methods for the delivery channels that your are going to use.

use Boyo\LinkMobility\LinkMobilityMessage;

class MyMessage extends LinkMobilityMessage 
{
	public function __construct($data)
    {
        $this->id = $data->id; // your unique message id, add other parameters if needed
    }
    
	public function build() {
		// set your sms text 
		$this->sms('SMS text');
	
		// set your viber text
		$this->viber('Viber text');
		
		return $this;
	}	
}

1. In your Notification class you can now include the LinkMobility channel in the $via array returned by the via() method.

use Boyo\LinkMobility\LinkMobilityChannel;

via($notifiable) 
{
	
	// ...
	
	$via[] = LinkMobilityChannel::class;
	
	return $via 
	
}

Within the same Notification class you should also define a method toSms():

public function toSms($notifiable)
{
	return (new MyMessage($unique_id))->to($notifiable->phone)->channel('viber-sms');
}

The channel method is where you define the delivery channel you wish to use.

• sms delivery by sms only (this is the default value, if you omit the channel method)
• viber delivery by viber only
• viber-sms delivery attempted by viber, if not successful delivery by sms
