BulkGate SMS Integration
Send individual and bulk SMS from Odoo through the BulkGate gateway.
Overview
BulkGate SMS Integration connects Odoo to BulkGate, an SMS gateway service, so your team can send messages to customers without switching to a separate platform. Messages are sent straight from Odoo contacts and records.
Built by TechUltra Solutions, the module supports every BulkGate sender type: the shared System Number, a registered personal number, an alphanumeric text Sender ID, and configured Sender ID profiles. You build SMS templates once inside the module and reuse them, with dynamic variables — customer name, order details, and more — filling in the right content for each recipient.
Connecting to BulkGate takes a one-time API key configuration. From there, all SMS activity runs through a single dashboard in Odoo, keeping messaging centralized alongside your customer data.
