SGC Connect for WordPress: SMS, WhatsApp, RCS & Voice Notifications
One plugin connects your WordPress site to your SMSGatewayCenter account and sends automatic messages from the plugins you already run. Pick the events, choose the channels, and let channel fallback make sure the message lands.
What is SGC Connect?
SGC Connect is the official WordPress plugin for SMSGatewayCenter. It replaces a pile of single purpose SMS add-ons with one lightweight hub. Each integration appears as its own settings tab only when the matching plugin is active on your site, so a WooCommerce only store never sees a Gravity Forms tab.
For every event you choose one or more channels, pick a template that is already approved in your SMSGatewayCenter account, and fill in its variables with simple placeholder tokens. A built in Message Log shows every send and its result without leaving WordPress.
- Four channels: SMS, WhatsApp, RCS and Voice from one account.
- Automatic fallback: if the first channel fails, the next one you ticked is tried.
- Live templates: approved templates, senders and voice clips are loaded straight from your account.
- Lightweight by design: code for integrations you do not use is never loaded.
- Encrypted credentials: your API key or password is stored encrypted and sent only to your account URL.

Each module has its own page with the events it triggers, the placeholder tokens it supports and a step by step setup guide.

Install
Add SGC Connect from Plugins, Add New, or download it from WordPress.org and activate it.
Connect your account
Enter your SMSGatewayCenter account URL, userid and API key or password, then press Test Connection to send yourself a real test message.
Pick events and channels
Open the tab for the plugin you use, switch on an event, tick SMS, WhatsApp, RCS or Voice, and choose an approved template.
Send and monitor
Every matching event now sends automatically. The Message Log lists each attempt, its channel and its result.
Four channels with built in fallback
Tick the channels you want on any event and they are tried in the order shown. A later channel is attempted only when the earlier one fails, so a WhatsApp message to a customer who is not on WhatsApp still reaches them by SMS.
- SMS: DLT compliant templates for India, with the template details carried along automatically.
- WhatsApp: Meta approved templates with variables, media headers and buttons from your WhatsApp Business number.
- RCS: rich messages from your configured RCS bot.
- Voice: pre recorded clips from your Voice Library.
Know exactly what was sent
The Message Log lists every attempt with its event, channel and result. Hovering a Failed badge shows the reason, and the log makes it easy to tell whether an event was switched off, no template was chosen or no phone number was available.
For developers and agencies, SGC Connect sits on top of the same SMSGatewayCenter platform that exposes SMS, WhatsApp, RCS and Voice through the developer API, so the messages you send from WordPress share templates, sender IDs and reports with the rest of your messaging.
