Integrating SMS-fly with keyCRM will allow you to:

  • send SMS messages to customers who do not use messaging apps;

  • set up automatic SMS sending;

  • send SMS messages to customers manually;

  • create templates for SMS messages, with automatic insertion of data from orders, pipelines, and customers.

Step 1. Preparations before connecting in the SMS-Fly cabinet

Go to your SMS-fly account, click the triangle icon in the top menu, select «API Settings», and copy your API key:

Next, go to the «Sender’s name» tab in the side menu and copy the name you want to link to keyCRM:

Step 2. Connecting SMS-fly to keyCRM

Go to «Settings» → «Communications» → the «Chats / SMS / Email» tab. A list of connected channels will appear in this section. At the bottom of the list, click «Add new channel»

In the open window:

  1. Titleenter a name for the channel;
  2. Channelselect the SMS channel type from the list;
  3. SMS Providerselect SMS-fly;
  4. Sender nameenter the alpha name you copied from your SMS-fly account;
    Note! The alpha name must be exactly the same as in your SMS-fly account.
  5. API keyenter the API token you copied from your SMS-fly account:

If necessary, you can also configure user access to the channel.

Additional settings

On the «Additional» tab, enable the «Reassign manager» toggle if you want to automatically assign a manager to the chat after a message is sent.

After entering the information, be sure to click the «Add» button, and your channel will be ready to go!

Important! SMS messages appear in keyCRM only after they have been successfully sent. If an error occurs while sending a message, that message will be deleted later.

Now you can notify your customers about their order status, send them the waybill number, and provide other important information by creating message templates. To streamline the process, set up automatic message sending.
