Notification Integrations: ClickSend

Notification Integrations: ClickSend

Introduction
Kornit X has the ability to send SMS order confirmations via a 3rd party service called Clicksend.

SMS messages will be sent to the telephone number stored in the "Shipping Telephone" field. If the telephone number does not have an international dialling prefix (E.164 format) then Kornit X will attempt to use the shipping country code to determine which prefix to use.

Integration Setup
First step is to get a click send account at https://dashboard.clicksend.com/#/signup/step1/. Once an account is setup, you can obtain the username and Api key needed for authentication from the account settings.

NB: Only the Username and Api Key fields are needed for authentication. The password field can be left blank.

The Sender ID is a text or telephone number of the sender. This is a required field.

The Custom String is a reference for the sender.  It is not a required field and can be left blank.

The From Email field is also not a required field for SMS and can also be left blank

The integration uses the Message Template field (if populated) to format the SMS messages sent. This will be described in detail in the 'How it Works' section of this documentation. 

Notified Statuses list all the possible statuses an order can be in at any one point in time. A text message will be sent once an order changes status to any of the statuses ticked in the Notified Statuses.

Order Requirements
The Shipping Telephone field must be populated in Kornit X. This is the telephone number the SMS is going to be sent to. The telephone number should be entered in the E.164 format.

If the telephone number is not entered in the E.164 format, then the integration will attempt to determine the international dialling prefix for the telephone number using a two-letter country code. If a valid shipping country code is not populated, the integration will flag an error

The country code field can be left blank if the telephone number is in the E.164 format

How it works
SMS messages are only sent for statuses ticked in the Notified Statuses on the Integration settings popup.

Text messages can be sent with or without a template. If a message template is required, then the template must be entered in the Message Template field on the Integration settings popup

Please see below an example template:
{% for item in order.items %}
Great news, your "{{ item.personalisation[0].value }}" personalised order is ready to collect.

Order Number: "{{ order.external_ref }}" 
{% endfor %}

The above template picks any personalisation available on an item and the external reference on the order.

NB: You can only modify portions of the above template that is not included in braces.

NB: If you require particular information on an order to be included in the template, please get in touch with our Support team with the particular information you require.

NB: If the Message Template field is left blank, the integration automatically composes the SMS message with information about the customer name, order external reference, status description and the time the status changed as seen below:

Generic Template:
<Shipping customer name>, your order ref <order external_ref> is <statusDescription> @ <time>";

To use the generic template, the Message Template field must be left blank.
