Requirement : SMS Notification Feature for Buyers (Auction Live Alerts)

We propose adding a new SMS Notification System to notify buyers when an auction goes live or when important updates are available.

Prerequisite

To enable SMS notifications, you will need:

• Twilio Account (or any SMS gateway of your choice)
• API Credentials:
  • Account SID
  • Auth Token
  • Sender Phone Number

These details must be provided to integrate SMS sending.

Feature Details

1. Admin Backend – SMS Notification Panel

A new admin screen will be created in the backend to manage SMS alerts.

Panel Functionalities:

• Buyer List Display
  • Shows all registered buyers participating in the auction.
  • Checkbox option for each buyer.
  • “Select All” and “Select Individual Buyers” options.
    
• Message Box
  • A text input area for writing custom SMS messages.
  • Character counter to follow SMS limit.
    
• Send Options
  • Send to All Buyers
  • Send to Selected Buyers Only
    

2. Mobile Number Verification on Registration (Buyer Side)

To ensure only valid users register, we will add phone verification.

Flow:

1. User enters mobile number during registration
2. System sends a 6-digit OTP via Twilio
3. User must enter the OTP to complete registration
4. Verified phone number gets stored in the user profile

This improves security, reduces fake registrations, and ensures buyers receive SMS notifications.

3. Twilio SMS API Integration

• Secure integration using Twilio REST API.
• Error handling for invalid numbers, API limits, or delivery failures.
• Option to switch / update API credentials in admin settings.

4. Expected Outcome

Once completed, the admin can:
✔ Notify all buyers instantly when an auction goes live
✔ Send reminders or updates
✔ Send targeted SMS to selected bidders
✔ Improve engagement & increase live participation
