A PHP API wrapper for Zigatext. This library helps to easily integrate Zigatext Messaging Platform into your PHP project.

Requirements

Curl 7.34.0 or latest (Unless using Guzzle)
PHP 5.4.0 or latest
OpenSSL v1.0.1 or latest

Install

Via Composer

    $ composer require kemonai/zigatext-php

Via download

Download a release version from the releases page. Extract, then:

    require 'path/to/src/autoload.php';

IMPORTANT

This is the first implementation of Zigatext API version 1.

Usage

Instantiate Zigatext class and pass you ACCESS-KEY as an argument to the construct. Then you can can start calling resource methods to fulfill your requests

0. Prerequisites

Confirm that your server can conclude a TLSv1.2 connection to Zigatext's servers. Most up-to-date software have this capability. Contact your service provider for guidance if you have any SSL errors.

1. Initiate sending message

When you submit message for sending our server queue's the message for delivery and after delivery your callback url is called to notify your system/website that your message has been sent.

    $zigatext = new Kemonai\Zigatext(ACCESS-KEY);
    try
    {
        $response = $zigatext->message->send(['sender' => 'php lib',
                                        'message' => 'it is awesome',
                                        'recipients' => '23470xxxxxxxx',
                                        'use_corporate_route' => true, // [true or false]
                                        'callback_url' => 'http://your-website/your-callback-url',  
                                        ]);
        var_dump($response);

    } catch(\Kemonai\Zigatext\Exception\ApiException $e){
        print_r($e->getResponseObject());
        die($e->getMessage());
    }

send method parameters

sender is your custom name/title for your message and is should not exceed 11 characters (space is also counted as character)
recipients is the phone number(s) you are sending message to
message is the content you want to send to your recipient(s)
use_corporate_route can either be true or false. Value 'true' means that you want your message delivers to Do-Not-disturb (DND) numbers for countries that has dnd policy
callback_url When you submit message for sending our server queue's the message for delivery and after delivery your callback url is called to notify your system/website that your message has been sent. Then you can use the message id passed as query string to retrieve delivery details. This parameter is optional in case you don't want to receive callback.

2. Scheduling message

Most of the parameter are the same with send method above. Before scheduling message you need to include time_zone_id, call $zigatext->timezone->list(); for the list of time zones and their ids.

    $zigatext = new Kemonai\Zigatext(ACCESS-KEY);
    try
    {
        $response = $zigatext->message->schedule(['sender' => 'php lib',
                                    'message' => 'it is awesome',
                                    'recipients' => '23470xxxxxxxx',
                                    'use_corporate_route' => true,
                                    'callback_url' => 'http://your-website/your-callback-url',
                                    'extras' => [[
                                        'deliver_at' => '2019-07-23 10:10',
                                        'time_zone_id' => 2,
                                    ]]]);
        var_dump($response);

    } catch(\Kemonai\Zigatext\Exception\ApiException $e){
        print_r($e->getResponseObject());
        die($e->getMessage());
    }

extras accepts arrays of delivery times, in case you want your scheduled message to deliver at different times.
time_zone_id You can call our time zone endpoint to get list of timezones and their ids. It's used to set at what timezone you want your scheduled message to delivery to your recipient(s).

3. Add Subscriber to your Newsletter list

To add subscriber from your system/website to your Newsletter list, first login to your Zigatext dashboard and create the newsletter list. Next call Newsletter $zigatext->newsletter->list(); to pull your list with their ids.

    $zigatext = new Kemonai\Zigatext(ACCESS-KEY);
    try
    {
        $response =  $zigatext->newsletter->addSubscriber([
                                    'id' => 2, //sms newsletter id
                                    'name' => 'Chibuike Mba',
                                    'phone_no' => '23470xxxxxxxx']);
        var_dump($response);

    } catch(\Kemonai\Zigatext\Exception\ApiException $e){
        print_r($e->getResponseObject());
        die($e->getMessage());
    }

4. Add Subscribers to your Newsletter list

This is same as adding single subscriber but in this case you add multiple subscribers at once.

    $zigatext = new Kemonai\Zigatext(ACCESS-KEY);
    try
    {
        $response =  $zigatext->newsletter->addBulkSubscribers([
                                        'id' => 2, //sms newsletter id
                                        'subscribers' => [
                                            [
                                                'name' => 'Benjamin Akawu',
                                                'phone_no' => '23470xxxxxxxx'
                                            ],
                                            [
                                                'name' => 'Franklin Nnakwe',
                                                'phone_no' => '23480xxxxxxxx'
                                            ]
                                        ]
                                    ]);
        var_dump($response);

    } catch(\Kemonai\Zigatext\Exception\ApiException $e){
        print_r($e->getResponseObject());
        die($e->getMessage());
    }

5. Add Birthday Contact to your Birthday group

To add contact from your system/website to your birthday group, first login to your Zigatext dashboard and create the birthday group. Next call Birthday $zigatext->birthday->getGroupList(); to pull your groups with their ids and $zigatext->month->list(); for months ids.

    $zigatext = new Kemonai\Zigatext(ACCESS-KEY);
    try
    {
        $response =  $zigatext->birthday->addContactToGroup([
                                        'group_id' => 7,
                                        'name' => 'Dennis Okonnachi',
                                        'phone_no' => '23470xxxxxxxx',
                                        'day' => 9,
                                        'month_id' => 1,
                                    ]);
        var_dump($response);

    } catch(\Kemonai\Zigatext\Exception\ApiException $e){
        print_r($e->getResponseObject());
        die($e->getMessage());
    }

6. Add Birthday Contacts to your Birthday group

This is same as adding single contact but in this case you add multiple contacts at once.

    $zigatext = new Kemonai\Zigatext(ACCESS-KEY);
    try
    {
        $response =  $zigatext->birthday->addBulkContactsToGroup([
                                        'group_id' => 7,
                                        'contacts' => [
                                            [
                                            'name' => 'Caleb Uche',
                                            'phone_no' => '23470xxxxxxxx',
                                            'day' => 9,
                                            'month_id' => 1,
                                            ],
                                            [
                                            'name' => 'Bernard Inyang',
                                            'phone_no' => '23480xxxxxxxx',
                                            'day' => 19,
                                            'month_id' => 3,
                                            ]
                                        ]
                                    ]);
        var_dump($response);

    } catch(\Kemonai\Zigatext\Exception\ApiException $e){
        print_r($e->getResponseObject());
        die($e->getMessage());
    }

7. Closing Notes

Generally, to make an API request after constructing a Zigatext object, Make a call to the resource/method thus: $zigatext->{resource}->{method}(); for gets, use $zigatext->{resource}(id) and to list resources: $zigatext->{resource}s().

Currently, we support: 'message', 'newsletter', 'birthday', 'month', 'balance' and 'timezones'. Check our API reference([link-zigatext-api-reference][link-zigatext-api-reference]) for the methods supported. To specify parameters, send as an array.

Check SAMPLES for more sample calls.

MetadataBuilder

This class helps you build valid json metadata strings to be sent when making transaction requests.

    $builder = new MetadataBuilder();

Add metadata

To turn off automatic snake-casing of Key names, do:

    MetadataBuilder::$auto_snake_case = false;

before you start adding metadata to the $builder.

Build JSON

Finally call build() to get your JSON metadata string.
