You can find User ID and API Key in your API keys page in Notify.lk settings section. And the Sender ID is your pre-approved sender ID. You can view your available sender IDs here in your Sender IDs page in the settings section. If you just registered and didn’t request a Sender ID, you can still send SMS using “NotifyDEMO” sender ID. Just enter it into the field.

Enabling SMS to Order Events

Now you have done the part of integrating your Notify.lk account to your WooCommerce addon. Now let’s configure your SMS options to ask the plugin to send SMS according to your requirement.

Tick the appropriate event which you want customers to be alerted using SMS. To get a detailed description of these WooCommerce order statuses, read their article here.

Now, you have set the plugin to send alerts for several WooCommerce order events. Not only that, you can customize the text your customers are receiving. To do that use the section below.

Default Message is the message users are receiving if the Message field for any event is empty. If you want to change the default text, just fill other fields below the Default Message field. You can use a set of shortcodes which the plugin will automatically convert into appropriate customer or order detail. We have listed the whole list of shortcodes available at the bottom of this page.

Admin Alert on New Orders

To enable admin notifications when a new order placed, use the “Notification for Admin” section. Just tick the enable checkbox and give the admin mobile number which you would like to receive the admin SMS alerts.

Finally, don’t forget to save this options page to keep the settings and things to work as you just opted by filling all above information.
