How to send sms to sangoma talk app

I’m playing with sending texts through VI via their API from a script in the PBX. I’d like to send some kind of notification to a user using sangoma talk so that when a reply comes back from the recipient that its not confusing. I tried sending a text to the sender as well as the recipient but that doesnt seem to work through the API (at least not using the same syntax). Is there a way to just stick a text message into the app without actually sending it? Either the same text that was sent out by the script, or some other message like “FYI: a message was sent to this person”.

Hopefully that makes sense.

I found a table called sms_messages in the asterisk database and inserting a message makes it show up in the sangoma talk app, but not in UCP. Close enough for now, but now I’m wondering where the SMS widget is pulling from.

The SMS Connector module is open source and you can see how it operates if you want to know how to pass messages through the SMS system. GitHub - simontelephonics/smsconnector: SMS Connector module for FreePBX 16 and 17
