Hello DHIS2 Community,
I have successfully set up Program Notifications following the Trainer’s Guide in my local DHIS2 instance (v2.41). Now, I want to configure Email and SMS notifications to send alerts based on program events.
I would like to know:
- How can I configure email notifications in a local DHIS2 instance?
- Is it possible to send SMS notifications without an internet-based SMS gateway?
- What are the best practices for configuring email/SMS for program notifications?
What I Have Tried So Far:
- I went to System Settings > Email Configuration, but I am unsure which SMTP settings to use for a local setup.
- I checked System Settings > SMS Configuration, but I need guidance on setting up an SMS gateway.
- I have configured program notifications but haven’t been able to test them due to missing email/SMS settings.
My Setup:
- DHIS2 Version: 2.41
- Deployment: Local instance on Ubuntu
- SMTP Server: (Not configured yet - seeking suggestions)
- SMS Gateway: (Looking for offline/alternative options)
Questions:
- What SMTP settings should I use for email notifications in a local instance?
- Are there any recommended SMS gateways that work well with DHIS2?
- Can I send SMS notifications without an internet-based provider, such as using a GSM modem?
Any guidance or step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
