Provider Adapters (`integrations/sms_providers.py`) **Features:** - Abstract base classes for SMS and WhatsApp providers - Unified `MessageResult` data class for consistent responses - Phone number formatting (E.164 standard) - Provider-agnostic status mapping **Implemented Providers:** #### Twilio SMS Provider - Full Twilio REST API integration - Message sending with delivery tracking - Status checking and updates - Cost tracking per message - Segment counting for long messages #### Twilio WhatsApp Provider - WhatsApp Business API via Twilio - Template message support - Read receipts tracking - Delivery status monitoring #### Unifonic SMS Provider - Middle East-focused SMS provider - Saudi Arabia optimized - Cost tracking in local currency - Delivery status API integration #### Mock Providers (Testing) - Mock SMS provider for development - Mock WhatsApp provider for testing - Always succeeds with logged output - No external API calls required **Provider Factory:** ```python from integrations.sms_providers import ProviderFactory # Create SMS provider (uses settings.SMS_PROVIDER) sms_provider = ProviderFactory.create_sms_provider() # Create WhatsApp provider whatsapp_provider = ProviderFactory.create_whatsapp_provider() # Send message result = sms_provider.send_sms( to='+966501234567', message='Your appointment is tomorrow at 10:00 AM' ) ``` ### 2. Messaging Service (`integrations/messaging_service.py`) **High-Level Service Features:** - Template-based messaging - Multi-channel delivery (SMS, WhatsApp, Email) - Patient preference checking - Delivery tracking and status updates - Automatic retry logic - Bulk messaging support - Statistics and reporting **Key Methods:** #### `send_from_template()` Send messages using predefined templates with variable substitution: ```python service = MessagingService() result = service.send_from_template( template_code='appointment_reminder', recipient_phone='+966501234567', channel='SMS', context={ 'patient_name': 'Ahmed', 'appointment_date': '2025-10-15', 'appointment_time': '10:00 AM', 'clinic_name': 'Pediatrics' }, tenant_id=tenant_id, language='ar' # or 'en' ) ``` #### `send_message()` Send direct messages without templates: ```python result = service.send_message( to='+966501234567', message='Your test results are ready', channel='SMS', tenant_id=tenant_id ) ``` #### `update_message_status()` Check delivery status with provider: ```python result = service.update_message_status(message_id) # Returns: {'success': True, 'status': 'DELIVERED', 'updated': True} ``` #### `retry_failed_message()` Retry failed messages (up to 3 attempts): ```python result = service.retry_failed_message(message_id) ``` #### `send_bulk_messages()` Send to multiple recipients: ```python result = service.send_bulk_messages( recipients=['+966501234567', '+966507654321'], message='Clinic closed tomorrow for holiday', channel='SMS', tenant_id=tenant_id ) # Returns: {'total': 2, 'sent': 2, 'failed': 0} ``` #### `get_message_statistics()` Get messaging statistics: ```python stats = service.get_message_statistics(tenant_id, days=7) # Returns: # { # 'total': 150, # 'by_channel': {'SMS': 100, 'WHATSAPP': 40, 'EMAIL': 10}, # 'by_status': {'DELIVERED': 140, 'FAILED': 10}, # 'success_rate': 93.33 # } ``` ### 3. Celery Tasks (`integrations/tasks.py`) **Async Messaging Tasks:** #### `send_sms_async()` Send SMS asynchronously with retry logic: ```python from integrations.tasks import send_sms_async send_sms_async.delay( to='+966501234567', message='Your appointment is confirmed', tenant_id=tenant_id ) ``` #### `send_whatsapp_async()` Send WhatsApp messages asynchronously: ```python from integrations.tasks import send_whatsapp_async send_whatsapp_async.delay( to='+966501234567', message='Your prescription is ready', tenant_id=tenant_id, template_code='prescription_ready', context={'patient_name': 'Ahmed'} ) ``` **Maintenance Tasks:** #### `update_message_statuses()` Runs every 5 minutes to update delivery status: - Checks messages sent in last 24 hours - Updates status from providers - Logs delivery confirmations #### `retry_failed_messages()` Runs every hour to retry failed messages: - Finds failed messages from last 24 hours - Retries up to 3 times - Tracks retry statistics #### `cleanup_old_messages()` Runs daily at 2:00 AM: - Deletes messages older than 90 days - Prevents database bloat - Maintains audit trail for required period **Bulk Messaging Tasks:** #### `send_bulk_sms()` Send SMS to multiple recipients: ```python from integrations.tasks import send_bulk_sms send_bulk_sms.delay( recipients=['+966501234567', '+966507654321'], message='Clinic announcement', tenant_id=tenant_id ) ``` #### `send_bulk_whatsapp()` Send WhatsApp to multiple recipients: ```python from integrations.tasks import send_bulk_whatsapp send_bulk_whatsapp.delay( recipients=['+966501234567', '+966507654321'], message='Important update', tenant_id=tenant_id ) ``` ### 4. Integration with Existing Systems **Notification Models Integration:** - Uses existing `MessageTemplate` model for templates - Uses existing `Message` model for tracking - Uses existing `MessageLog` model for audit trail - Uses existing `NotificationPreference` model for patient preferences **Patient Preference Checking:** ```python # Automatically checks patient preferences before sending # Respects channel preferences (SMS, WhatsApp, Email) # Respects notification type preferences (reminders, confirmations, etc.) ``` **Multi-Language Support:** ```python # Templates support both English and Arabic template.render(language='ar', **context) # Arabic template.render(language='en', **context) # English ``` --- ## ๐Ÿ”ง Configuration ### Settings Configuration Add to `AgdarCentre/settings.py`: ```python # ============================================================================ # SMS/WhatsApp Provider Configuration # ============================================================================ # Choose provider: 'twilio', 'unifonic', or 'mock' SMS_PROVIDER = 'mock' # Change to 'twilio' or 'unifonic' in production WHATSAPP_PROVIDER = 'mock' # Change to 'twilio' in production # Twilio Configuration TWILIO_SMS_CONFIG = { 'account_sid': env('TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID', default=''), 'auth_token': env('TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN', default=''), 'from_number': env('TWILIO_FROM_NUMBER', default=''), } TWILIO_WHATSAPP_CONFIG = { 'account_sid': env('TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID', default=''), 'auth_token': env('TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN', default=''), 'from_number': env('TWILIO_WHATSAPP_NUMBER', default=''), # Format: whatsapp:+1234567890 } # Unifonic Configuration (Middle East) UNIFONIC_SMS_CONFIG = { 'app_sid': env('UNIFONIC_APP_SID', default=''), 'sender_id': env('UNIFONIC_SENDER_ID', default=''), } # Mock Provider (for development/testing) # No configuration needed - automatically logs messages ``` ### Environment Variables Add to `.env`: ```bash # Twilio (if using Twilio) TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=your_account_sid_here TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=your_auth_token_here TWILIO_FROM_NUMBER=+1234567890 TWILIO_WHATSAPP_NUMBER=whatsapp:+1234567890 # Unifonic (if using Unifonic) UNIFONIC_APP_SID=your_app_sid_here UNIFONIC_SENDER_ID=your_sender_id_here ``` ### Celery Beat Schedule Add to `AgdarCentre/celery.py`: ```python from celery.schedules import crontab app.conf.beat_schedule = { # ... existing schedules ... # Update message delivery status every 5 minutes 'update-message-statuses': { 'task': 'integrations.tasks.update_message_statuses', 'schedule': crontab(minute='*/5'), }, # Retry failed messages every hour 'retry-failed-messages': { 'task': 'integrations.tasks.retry_failed_messages', 'schedule': crontab(minute=0), # Every hour }, # Cleanup old messages daily at 2:00 AM 'cleanup-old-messages': { 'task': 'integrations.tasks.cleanup_old_messages', 'schedule': crontab(hour=2, minute=0), }, # Health check every 15 minutes 'check-integration-health': { 'task': 'integrations.tasks.check_integration_health', 'schedule': crontab(minute='*/15'), }, } ``` --- ## ๐Ÿ“Š Database Schema **No new models required!** Phase 6 uses existing notification models: -
