How to Connect D7 SMS as Data Destination
The integration will allow you to send SMS to D7 SMS based on data from other systems. For example, if a new row appeared in Google Sheets, an order in CRM moved to another stage of the funnel, or when a new order appeared on your site. The integration will allow you to automate the data processing process as efficiently as possible.
Let's go through the entire D7 SMS setup steps together!

Once you have set up a Data Source system, such as Google Sheets, you can set up D7 SMS as a Data Destination.
To do this, click "Start configuring Data Destination".
Select the system as Data Destination. In this case, you must specify D7 SMS.
Next, you need to specify an action, for example, "Send SMS".
The next step is to select the D7 SMS account from which will get the data.
If there are no account connected to the system, click "Connect account".
In the window that opens, fill in the "API Key" field.
To do this, let's go to the D7 SMS personal account.
In your D7 SMS account, go to the "Developer" tab in the "Applications" section and click on "Create App".
Next, specify "Application Name" and save the name of the future key API. In the new window, click on "Generate Token" and copy the generated "Token API". Next, insert it into the corresponding field in the ApiX-Drive system.
After that, the page will reload and the saved account will be automatically selected. If this does not happen, select the created account in the list.
Now you need to specify the alpha name of the sender, which you have registered in the D7 SMS service.
Also, it is necessary to set up the connection of the fields of the Data Source, using the example of Google Sheets, with the corresponding fields in D7 SMS and indicate the recipient's phone number.
To add a variable to the "Message" field, select the required variable from the drop-down list. If necessary, you can write the data manually.
You can combine these variables in any way you like. For example, select the variable Name from the list, then put a comma, and then specify the main text of the message, as shown in the example.
Now you can see what the SMS message will look like.
If you want to send test data to D7 SMS in order to check if the settings are correct, click "Send test data to D7 SMS" and an SMS message will be sent to the phone number specified in the test data.
If something does not suit you - click "Edit" and go back one step.
If everything suits you, click "Next".
This completes the Data Destination system setup!
Now you can start choosing the update interval and enabling auto-update.
To do this, click "Enable auto-update".
On the main screen, click on the gear icon to select the required update interval or setup scheduled launch. To start the connection by time, select scheduled start and specify the desired time for the connection update will be started, or add several options at once when you need the connection will be started.
Attention! In order for the scheduled launch to work at the specified time, the interval between the current time and the specified time must be more than 5 minutes. For example, you select the time 12:10 and the current time is 12:08 - in this case, the automatic update of the connection will occur at 12:10 the next day. If you select the time 12:20 and the current time is 12:13 - the auto-update of the connection will work today and then every day at 12:20.
To make the current connection transmit data only after another connection, check the box "Update connection only after start other connection" and specify the connection after which the current connection will be started.
To enable auto-update, switch the slider to the position as shown in the picture.
To perform a one-time data transfer, click on the arrow icon.
This completes the setup of D7 SMS as Data Destination! See how easy it is!?
Now don't worry, ApiX-Drive will do everything on its own!
