Hello, I need assistance with 2 way SMS setup with Clickatell as the provider. Here’s what I’ve done. 1. Setup a Clickatell account 2. Created a New SMS setup in Clickatell 3. Registered a Long Number for 2 way chat 4. Created a campaign for customer notification 5. Now I have an API key for OpenEMR Reference: [Getting started - Clickatell](https://docs.clickatell.com/channels/sms-channels/sms-api-documentation/) What are the next steps to move forward with successful SMS notifications and 2 way response for appointment confirmation and cancellations? ---

@growlingflea I did some searching on the forum and saw a few years ago you mentioned updating the Clickatell API here: [CLickatel two-way text messaging - Currrent code is out of date](https://community.open-emr.org/t/clickatel-two-way-text-messaging-currrent-code-is-out-of-date/8768) Is that code inside OpenEMR or if you have something private perhaps you could connect with @sovratec and work something out. - Thanks. ---

Hi there, Sorry for the late reply. I have code that works well for rel-501 and I am currently working on a module so its available for others to use. Just this week I learned that because of new US Laws for 2022 we need to have a campaign and a brand in order to send messages from a 10 digit number. I am happy to assist you. The current code in the base is out of date. If you want 2-way texting you will need more code than the community provides. The next few days are pretty busy for me but feel free to reach out to me and I can assist you getting up and running. I should have a working module in the next two weeks, so depending on your timeline I can make it available for you. The module I am working on is pediatrician-specific since we send the same SMS alert to multiple phones. ---
