Overview

Universal Chat for Mautic is a plugin to send Campaign Text Messages to contacts via Hybrid Chat. Mautic has pre-built integration with Twilio only, so this plugin is a new alternative to the users of Mautic.

Requirements

Prerequisites

  • Run composer require stomp-php/stomp-php to install stomp-php client.
  • Run rm -rf var/cache/* to remove cache.

  • Open the ActivemqTransport.php file and replace the HC Machine hostname with your own machine hostname.  

         

  • Use tcp:// instead of https:// with client hostname
  • Stomp client is accessible on 61613 port without SSL and accessible on 61615 port with SSL.
  • Default Activemq Queue for campaign sms is “/queue/sms”, can be replaced as per requirement in AvtivemqTransport.php file.

         

  • Delete app/cache/prod files or Run command rm -rf var/cache/* to clear cache.
