I installed OpenEMR successfully. I have a clickatell connection that I would like to use to send SMS when the patient makes and appointment. According to the wiki (http://www.openmedsoftware.org/wiki/Sms_and_Email_Notification_Howtos)
the following three steps are needed:
1. Edit the interface/globals.php fine and adjust the configuration as appropriate for your setup: <DONE>
2.Install backend notification processes you need to add cron_email_notification.php and cron_sms_notification.php in system crontab to run every hour. <NOt Done yet>
3.Login into openEMR and go in section Admin.Notification and there you will find three new sections <Trouble>
I wanted to set the SMS settings before setting up the scheduled jobs. The issue is I am not able to see the notification section where i can set the templates for the SMS settings.
Do i have to change any setting somewhere else to get the SMS settings to display on the interface.
hey,
Couldn’t get this to work either. Very odd, even with a bunch of grepping couldn’t find the link or page (thought it was possibly gonna show in the Miscellaneous->Batchcom but copuldn’t find it there ieither) Will make a bug in tracker for this.

Thanks for replying, I finally worked around it by making the entries in the account_info table through the database section. Also would you happen to know if this Admin-Notification section would have a way of defining the templates for the SMS messages to be sent out.
BTW, is there any way i could help with the code development etc…Is there a roadmap planned for new features and such that i could help with.
Hi again,
OK,am not sure of this but in …/openemr/interface/batchcom/batch_navigation.php -line 10-
<? if (acl_check(‘admin’, ‘notification’)) { ?>
at first i tried to comment it out - well it showed the SMS Notification Email Notification SMS/Email Alert Settings taps- but when you click on one of them this message will show up "You are not Authorized for this "
i tried to add ‘notification’ into the ACL but it didn’t work out.
any ideas how it can be added ??
I am trying to setup SMS as well. I have the Clickatell account, etc all setup in the app, and users setup to be notified by SMS, but there is nowhere to select SMS as an option in Batchcom.
Hi,
Would be nice to get this installation process cleaned up since there seem to be a lot of google and wiki searches for this feature: http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Sms_and_Email_Notification_Howtos
(if anybody has gotten this to work please share what else is needed, so can document this)
thanks,

Hi Chetan,
I was just trying to go about what you’ve said, “I finally worked around it by making the entries in the account_info table through the database section” and while I’m using OpenEMR 4.1.1, I did go to Administration >> Other >> Database
I can’t seem to find account_info table.
Would really appreciate if you could shed some light on this, pls.
