Hi,

Is there any way to send SMS from BAAN?



Thanks
Sandeep

I have worked with customers that enabled SMS messages from within Baan. First, you need to enable Email capability from Baan - You can do that by looking at B2Email solutions from NAZDAQ - or the many good solutions that are posted in this site - both add-ons and home grown solutions.

When E-mail is enabled, you can Fax also since most modren fax servers receive email requests. Depending on your country, there are companies that turn emails to SMS messages as well

Dear sir,

try to figure out how to send an SMS from any other application (Word, notepad, whatever).
To extract data from Baan (via report or writing to a file) is a piece of cake.
I would prefer to use a linux server as sms gateway, but there should be solutions for M$ too.
Perhaps you can find a third party (provider) to do the actual sending for you, but to be able to communicate with him, you should try to send emails from Baan.
There are lots of hints how to achieve that on the board.

good luck

Norbert

you can use a third party component . If you have your own sms server then you u can write a shell for the same

Hi,

Alternative Solution - you can use http://www.freesms.net/freesms.aspx

1.make a Baan Job to generate a single line report to flat file (not more than 40 char)
2.Make a Windos macro to copy the text in flat file.
3.Using Windows macro - Open IE with above said URL and send the message.

Windows macro can be scheduled..!!

dear ashu, we have own sms server but how can i do that ...tell me step-by-step as i am new to baan..thx in advance..

Hi mohit,

Is your SMS server capable of working from command prompt ??

if yes , then try the following

1.Create a Report data (what you need to sms) make it short and meaning ful (40 char)
2.make a baan job and run report to a flat file.
3.write a batch file to take the flat file data and send it thru your sms server.

Note : you can use windows scheduler to schedule batch file.

all the best.
