Is there any recommendation for SMS plugin which can be easily integrated with Grails?
I'm building a management system which sends customers Y/N confirmation via text message.

Answer 1

The cost and deliverance quality of SMS services depends on which countries you will be sending SMS to, but (prior to changing to a Swedish vendor) we have used the international vendor Clickatell with ok results.
You don't need a Grails plugin for that, just use HTTPBuilder (e.g. by including the Grails REST plugin) with Grails to call the Clickatell API according to their documentation.
Here is some old sample code (may not be working if the API has changed):
import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
import groovyx.net.http.EncoderRegistry
import static groovyx.net.http.Method.POST
import static groovyx.net.http.ContentType.URLENC
import static groovyx.net.http.ContentType.TEXT
def http = new HTTPBuilder(host)
http.contentType = TEXT
EncoderRegistry encoders = new EncoderRegistry();
encoders.setCharset('ISO-8859-1')
http.setEncoderRegistry(encoders)
http.request(POST) {
uri.path = 'http/sendmsg'
requestContentType = URLENC
body = [api_id: '1234567', user: 'john', password: 'doe', from: 'Company', to: NUMBER, text: 'Hello world', concat: '3', callback: '2', deliv_ack: '1']
response.success = { resp, reader ->
def msg = reader.text
if (msg.substring(0, 2) == 'ID') {
} else if (msg.substring(0, 3) == 'ERR') {
} else {
}
}
response.failure = { resp ->
}
}
