Connectors
Connectors are used to connect Diafaan SMS Server with other software. This can be a database, e-mail system, web server and more. The following connectors are supported:
The Web connector uses a built-in web server that is used to send SMS messages and query the status of previously sent messages. The web connector can also be used to post received messages to webpages.
E-mail is converted into SMS messages with a built-in SMTP server or with a connection to an external POP server. The e-mail connector can also forward SMS messages to an e-mail address.
The SQL connector provides the connection to the database you want to use. It supports three database tables, one for messages to send (MessageOut), one to store received messages (MessageIn) and a table to log sent or failed calls (MessageLog).
