Limitless Communication: All-in-one, super scalable, messaging Solution for WordPress.

Ok hold on! ✋. So, many words in one line.

Let’s understand each one-by-one.

All-in-one: What do you want? – Email, SMS, push-notification? Get all-in-one.

But I don’t want to use xyz provider for SMS, I want to use pqr, can I have that? Yes it provides you with lot of pre implemented providers for all email, sms and push-notification.

Super Scalable: But I want to use an email provider named yxr you haven’t heard the name of. Now what? 🧐

No worries! Are you a developer? If yes, just write your own plugin and implement your own adapter and see it nicely hooked-up with “WordPress messaging”. Please refer to this section for implementing adapters.

And that’s how it provides Limitless communication! 🚀

Examples

Email 📧📨

Send an email through a particular adapter (with headers 😉) –

dev', ], ], 'attachments' => [ trailingslashit( WP_CONTENT_DIR ). php' => trailingslashit( WP_CONTENT_DIR ). php', ], ], 'mailgun' );

Just remove the last parameter! And now it uses the default selected adapter –

dev', ], ], 'attachments' => [ trailingslashit( WP_CONTENT_DIR ). php' => trailingslashit( WP_CONTENT_DIR ). php', ], ], );

Checked the override wp_mail checkbox? Try a simple wp_mail! –

', [], [] );

SMS 📲

Send a SMS through a particular adapter –

', 'twilio' );

Just remove the last parameter! And now it uses the default selected adapter –

' );

Creating your own adapter 🛠️

Here comes the cool part fellow developers! 💻

Tip: I have provided a dummy adapter for each service at inc/<service>/adapters/dummy/.

Consider that as the starting point and let’s understand what each file does.

Let’s start with namespace.php. It is the entry point of your adapter.

In that you will see a simple bootstrap function.

In that function we are hooking into EMAIL_SLUG. '_adapters' and registering our adapter.

We pass the following data –

slug

name

adapter class object.

options – An array defining the settings required for this adapter, which will be used to automatically display the options on the settings page.

Next is class-adapter.php, which is the Adapter class, which we initialized in the above file and passed it to adapter. It contains three simple functions –

get_settings_fields – This is the function which returns the array of options, which we used in the above file for options. Each option, will have –

The key as the name of the option.

And three values –

label – Label to display in the settings page beside the input.

type – Type of the field.

sanitize_callback

get_settings – This function returns an associative array, whose keys are the name of the options and the value as the value of the options.

get_adapter – This function will just return the core provider class, which is responsible for processing the message.

First check if Utopia Messaging already provides the provider or not here, for example Utopia\Messaging\Adapter\Email\Mailgun.

If it is present just use it. Easy peasy! ✨

But if not, let’s code it ourself, because Utopia Messaging makes it so easy to create a new adapter!

class-dummy.php is for that purpose, assuming you don’t get a provider already present in Utopia Messaging.

It’s basically a child class of EmailAdapter or SMSAdapter, which abstract a lot of stuff for us!

Let me explain two main functions, _construct and process. Rest of the functions and properties are self-explanatory! 😉

In the _construct function just put the arguments which you want to accept. That’s it! And now they will be available everywhere else as $this->param_name!

The process function is the place where you have to write the main logic of calling your providers API to send the message.

As said above all the credentials/data you accepted through constructor are available as $this->param_name.

Build the body and the headers.

And then you can use the $this->request function as demonstrated in the dummy!

Create a response using Utopia’s Response class.

Handle the errors, populate the response, return! Done! 🚀

External services

Brevo

This plugin connect’s to Brevo’s API to send emails through Brevo. This is the API it sends the request to.

The request is send everytime a mail is sent, and Brevo is selected as the default adapter from the plugin settings (or the function to send email through Brevo is directly invoked in the code).
