Vehicle-ready messages for repair shops
Implementation scenario · This is an example implementation, not a story about a named customer. Results depend on your integration, phone, network and carrier.
AI-generated scenario illustrationThe problem
After repairs, customers need a clear signal that their vehicle can be collected. Starting work is not the same as confirming completion.
Build the solution
Trigger SMS when the responsible employee closes the job. Include the job reference, collection hours and shop phone. Use cost information only when your system has confirmed it.
Check before launch
Test reopened repairs and corrected amounts. Do not send a ready message before required vehicle checks are completed.
How SIM Bridge works
Your backend creates a job through the API, and the connected Android sends SMS through your SIM. Store the message ID in your system and receive status changes through a webhook. A queued job is not yet a sent message: the phone must be available and the carrier must accept it.
Start with your own test number. Check Android permissions, screen-off connectivity, retries with the same Idempotency-Key, and unknown-status handling. Keep API keys out of browser code and public repositories.
