eG Manager SMS notifications – integration manual

This guide explains how to integrate SMSEagle with eG Manager by eG Innovations for SMS notifications.

SMSEagle functions as a standalone hardware SMS gateway that operates independently without requiring external connections to third-party services. All notifications are processed locally within your infrastructure and transmitted directly through the cellular network.

This makes it an ideal solution for secure environments and installations where Internet connectivity is restricted or unavailable.

SMSEagle Setup

Before using the API, you’ll need to enable API access on your SMSEagle device by following these steps (more information about SMSEagle APIv1 can be found here):

Navigate to the Web-GUI and select the Users menu.
Create a new user in SMSEagle (+ Add Users), set up user access level to: “User”.
Locate the Access to API option next to your newly created user.
Select APIv1 and click the Generate new token button to create your API access token.
Set up the appropriate permissions in the APIv1 Permission section:

For purpose of this example configuration, add access permissions in section Messages for: send_sms.

eG Manager Setup

Extended instructions can be found in the eG Innovations documentation

Open the ini file in the <EG_INSTALL_DIR>\manager\config directory
Go to the [SMS_SETTINGS] section and edit this line with your SMSEagle API request (use an access token generated in the previous section):
```
SMSHttpUrl=
```
For example:
```
SMSHttpUrl=https://192.168.0.101/http_api/send_sms?access_token=123abc456def&to=&message=
```

3. In the [SMS_SETTINGS] find the parameters $ToNumber and $Message: $ToNumber= $Message=

Change them to parameters in SMSEagle API format:

$ToNumber=to $Message=message

Save the ini and restart the eG Manager.
