How does smsPULSE for Domino work

smsPULSE and all its components are native to Domino.  The core part of the system are three server add-ins.  These are supported by a number of Domino Databases, residing on the same server.  For an architecture diagram click here.

  1. Two databases are used for storing outgoing message data (sms.OUT and sms.BOX).  You either email to these databases or create data on these programatically
  2. The broadcasting add-in reads data from the above and sends message out using your choice of protocol: HTTPS/GSM
  3. Protocols other then HTTPS are served by the smsLINES add-in
  4. Monitor progress of message delivery all the way to the Cell-phone, on both HTTPS and GSM
  5. All outbound traffic is stored in a secure journal for control purposes (sms.JOUR)
  6. When messages arrive to smsPULSE via GSM devices (MM version only) these are stored in a Notes database (sms.IN)
  7. The sms router add-in, smsROUTER, processes incoming messages according to routing rules. Messages may trigger actions which may forward messages, updates databases or execute LotusScript code.
