bulk campaign Checklist for Laravel / Frameworks

Laravel jobs, not a PHP SDK

Search intent for bulk campaign checklist for laravel is whether your artisan worker is allowed to fire a promotional batch through an Android SIM. Service pricing is based on device count and total SMS sent through the gateway. Live fields live in docs.sms-gateway.app— not in a fake composer package.

A green Horizon graph is not consent, airtime, or a paired phone. Check those three before the first customer row.

<?php
// SMS Gateway — POST /api/v1/messages (Bearer JSON). Docs: https://docs.sms-gateway.app/
$url = 'https://app.sms-gateway.app/api/v1/messages';
$key = getenv('SMS_GATEWAY_API_KEY'); // never commit real keys
$payload = json_encode([
    'to' => ['+14155552671'], // E.164 with +
    'text' => 'Hello from SMS Gateway!',
    'type' => 'sms',
]);

$ctx = stream_context_create([
    'http' => [
        'method' => 'POST',
        'header' => implode("\r\n", [
            'Authorization: Bearer ' . $key,
            'Content-Type: application/json',
            'Idempotency-Key: ' . bin2hex(random_bytes(16)),
        ]),
        'content' => $payload,
        'timeout' => 30,
        'ignore_errors' => true,
    ],
]);
$response = file_get_contents($url, false, $ctx);
$result = json_decode($response, true);

if (!empty($result['messages'][0]['id'])) {
    $id = $result['messages'][0]['id'];
    echo 'Queued. Message ID: ' . $id;
} else {
    $err = $result['error']['code'] ?? 'unknown';
    echo 'Error: ' . $err . ' — ' . ($result['error']['message'] ?? $response);
}

That snippet is REST HTTPS/JSON. It is not “Download PHP SDK.” PHP samples. Production checklist for the same stack: Laravel production readiness.

Pre-dispatch gates

Name an owner for each gate. Radio failures and HTTP failures need different pages. Device setup and webhooks setup before you enlarge the to array.

Queues vs radio pace

Laravel can enqueue faster than a handset can transmit. Cap concurrency to healthy devices, not to Horizon workers. Failed jobs that actually hit the radio still burn operator credit — we do not refund airtime. Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit.

CTIA messaging principles are a useful floor for promotional tone and consent (CTIA messaging principles). Quiet hours still apply when the queue drains overnight.

Keep OTP off the campaign worker

Pin authentication with deviceIds. OTP verification and bulk SMS with consent are different lanes. A sale blast on the login SIM is a no-go even if the JSON is valid.

CSV and scheduleAt

Panel spreadsheet import is a Professional / Business feature — not a hidden Free unlock. Excel and CSV bulk. API campaigns still POST JSON. scheduleAt is ISO-8601 UTC and refused beyond 38 days.

Go / no-go

• Staff canary delivered on a cold SIM before customer rows.
• STOP + suppression list on promotional copy.
• OTP device pinned and idle during the blast.
• Webhook signatures verified; DLR watched for a fail spike.
• On-call named; spare charged; rollback is “pause the queue,” not “hope.”

Next steps

Run the canary, then one segment, then the rest. Device and volume pricing. Laravel SMS gateway.
