Newly Improved Fax, SMS and Email Module

Here is the patch for the reintroduction of RingCentral and an Email Client with sending Appointment Reminders using email. Unzip in openemr root.

  • Install patch
  • From openemr root run composer install to install RC vendor SDK.
  • To be safe run composer dump-autoload -o also to ensure RC is loaded.
  • Install faxsms module from Modules > Manage Modules.
  • Setup RC account information in modules setup Setup SMS Account or Fax Account. You only need to enter one set as SMS and Fax use the same login.
  • You can get all items from your RC account. Under settings be sure to setup permissions and Auth. You may generate your JWT from here or from module account setup.

The SMS module hasn’t been tested because it is such a pain to get authorized to send SMS. RC has absolutely no way for developers to do SMS unless you sing on as a business with production account!
However @Bo_Wang team has given me an account on their enterprise account to finish up SMS so at least another patch. I expect sending text reminders to work.

Everyone can give thanks to @hitechelp for his tenacious prodding and sponsoring me to get RC back into OpenEMR so thank you David.
Also let’s thank @Bo_Wang and his team for providing me with everything I need to test.

I wanted to at least get the fax service to you folks which I think is working well.
