Vodia’s new SMS Management feature centralizes all customer SMS provider connections under SIP Trunks for each tenant. It allows you to easily add supported providers and manage SMS numbers with custom settings like name, number, provider and message routing. Policies can be created for opt-in/opt-out messaging, welcome messages, message retention and conversation management with keywords. Additionally, menu selections offer customizable options for customers, such as providing information or directing them to URLs. This enhances SMS management by streamlining provider setup and message handling for better customer interaction.
Under Numbers, you can specify the SMS number for the user to check the values below:
Name: Name with customer or group name
Number: Add the SMS DID
Policy: If no policy has been created, choose "none"
Provider: Choose your provider
URL prefix: This prefix can be unique for each number: set the prefix you want in the provider portal and use that prefix when you assign the SMS number
Source: Souce can come to the assigned extension
Destination: Destination messages can be sent to any other extension or to the same extension

Your Vodia extension is no longer tied to a single device or location. Native iOS and Android apps, the browser-based User Portal, PWA support, Vodia Hub and click-to-dial extensions provide different ways to connect with the same Vodia PBX. Make and receive business calls from your smartphone, manage communication from your browser, control calls from the Windows desktop or dial numbers directly from the applications and webpages you already use. Wherever work takes place, Vodia provides an experience designed for the device and workflow at hand.
The Vodia-Cloudbeds integration connects hotel communications with essential property-management workflows. From check-in to check-out, it automatically enables and personalizes room extensions, applies guest calling permissions, posts eligible call charges to Cloudbeds and resets extension data after each stay. Two years on, the integration continues Vodia’s long-standing work in hospitality, helping hotel teams reduce manual administration, protect guest information and keep telephone services synchronized with their daily operations.
The Vodia integration with Jitsi Meet brings secure, self-hosted video conferencing directly into the Vodia PBX web portal. Users can launch meetings with a single click, while organizations maintain control over their infrastructure, meeting content and access. With JWT-based authentication, automatic room creation tied to extensions and controlled guest access, the integration offers a private, scalable alternative to conventional hosted video conferencing platforms while bringing voice and video together in one communications environment.
