  • 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:

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:

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:

result = service.update_message_status(message_id)
# Returns: {'success': True, 'status': 'DELIVERED', 'updated': True}

retry_failed_message()

Retry failed messages (up to 3 attempts):

result = service.retry_failed_message(message_id)

send_bulk_messages()

Send to multiple recipients:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

# Automatically checks patient preferences before sending
# Respects channel preferences (SMS, WhatsApp, Email)
# Respects notification type preferences (reminders, confirmations, etc.)

Multi-Language Support:

# Templates support both English and Arabic
template.render(language='ar', **context)  # Arabic
template.render(language='en', **context)  # English

🔧 Configuration

UNIFONIC_SENDER_ID=your_sender_id_here

Celery Beat Schedule

Add to AgdarCentre/celery.py:

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'),

        'task': 'integrations.tasks.check_integration_health',
        'schedule': crontab(minute='*/15'),
    },
}

📊 Database Schema

No new models required! Phase 6 uses existing notification models:

  • MessageTemplate - Message templates with variables
  • Message - Outbound message tracking
  • MessageLog - Detailed message lifecycle events
  • NotificationPreference - Patient notification preferences

🎯 Usage Examples

Example 1: Send Appointment Reminder

from integrations.messaging_service import MessagingService

service = MessagingService()

# Send SMS reminder
result = service.send_from_template(
    template_code='appointment_reminder_24h',
    recipient_phone=appointment.patient.phone,
    channel='SMS',
    context={
        'patient_name': appointment.patient.get_full_name(),
        'appointment_date': appointment.scheduled_at.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'),
        'appointment_time': appointment.scheduled_at.strftime('%I:%M %p'),
        'clinic_name': appointment.clinic.name,
        'provider_name': appointment.provider.get_full_name(),
    },
    patient_id=str(appointment.patient.id),
    tenant_id=str(appointment.tenant.id),
    language=appointment.patient.preferred_language
)

if result['success']:
    logger.info(f"Reminder sent: {result['message_id']}")
else:
    logger.error(f"Reminder failed: {result['error']}")

Example 2: Send Async WhatsApp Message

from integrations.tasks import send_whatsapp_async

# Queue WhatsApp message for async sending
send_whatsapp_async.delay(
    to=patient.phone,
    message=f"Hello {patient.first_name}, your test results are ready.",
    tenant_id=str(tenant.id),
    template_code='test_results_ready',
    context={
        'patient_name': patient.get_full_name(),
        'test_name': 'Blood Test',
    }
)

Example 3: Bulk SMS Campaign

from integrations.tasks import send_bulk_sms

# Get all patients with appointments tomorrow
tomorrow = timezone.now().date() + timedelta(days=1)
appointments = Appointment.objects.filter(
    scheduled_at__date=tomorrow,
    status='CONFIRMED'
)

recipients = [apt.patient.phone for apt in appointments if apt.patient.phone]

# Send bulk reminder
send_bulk_sms.delay(
    recipients=recipients,
    message='Reminder: You have an appointment tomorrow. Please arrive 15 minutes early.',
    tenant_id=str(tenant.id)
)

Example 4: Check Message Status

from integrations.messaging_service import MessagingService

service = MessagingService()

# Update status from provider
result = service.update_message_status(message_id)

if result['success']:
    print(f"Status: {result['status']}")
    print(f"Updated: {result['updated']}")

Example 5: Get Messaging Statistics

from integrations.messaging_service import MessagingService

service = MessagingService()

# Get last 7 days statistics
stats = service.get_message_statistics(tenant_id, days=7)

print(f"Total messages: {stats['total']}")
print(f"Success rate: {stats['success_rate']}%")
print(f"By channel: {stats['by_channel']}")
print(f"By status: {stats['by_status']}")
