## 📋 Implementation Details

### Signal Handlers (apps/complaints/signals.py)

```python
# Called after complaint is created
post_save.connect(
    send_complaint_creation_sms,
    sender=Complaint,
    dispatch_uid='complaint_creation_sms'
)

# Called after complaint status changes
post_save.connect(
    send_complaint_status_change_sms,
    sender=Complaint,
    dispatch_uid='complaint_status_change_sms'
)
```

### Model Changes (apps/complaints/models.py)

```python
class Complaint(TenantModel):
    # ... existing fields ...
    
    def get_tracking_url(self):
        """Get the public tracking URL for this complaint"""
        return f"/complaints/track/{self.reference_number}/"
    
    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        # Track status changes for SMS notifications
        if self.pk:
            old_instance = Complaint.objects.get(pk=self.pk)
            self._status_was = old_instance.status
        super().save(*args, **kwargs)
```

### SMS Message Templates

Messages are structured as dictionaries with language keys:

```python
STATUS_CHANGE_MESSAGES = {
    'resolved': {
        'en': "Your complaint {ref} has been resolved. Summary: {resolution}",
        'ar': "تم حل شكواكم {ref}. الملخص: {resolution}"
    },
    'closed': {
        'en': "Your complaint {ref} is now closed. Thank you.",
        'ar': "تم إغلاق شكواكم {ref}. شكراً لتعليقاتكم."
    }
}
```

---

## 🔧 Configuration Required

### Environment Variables (.env)

```bash
# SMS Gateway Configuration
SMS_GATEWAY_URL=https://sms.gateway.com/api/send
SMS_GATEWAY_USERNAME=your_username
SMS_GATEWAY_PASSWORD=your_password
SMS_GATEWAY_SENDER=SHCT

# Base URL for tracking URLs
BASE_URL=https://shct.sa

# Support phone number
SUPPORT_PHONE=8001234567
```

### NotificationService (apps/notifications/services.py)

The NotificationService must have the `send_sms()` method implemented:

```python
def send_sms(self, phone, message, metadata=None):
    """
    Send SMS notification
    
    Args:
        phone: Phone number in international format (e.g., +966501234567)
        message: SMS message text
        metadata: Optional dictionary with additional information
    
    Returns:
        NotificationLog object
    """
    # Implementation depends on SMS gateway
    pass
```
