Broadcast message

[vladbondarenko]

Hi,

Is there any way to send broadcast message for all subscribers?

For example i want to trigger bot.php externaly to send all subscribers some message.

Thanks.

Yes, you can.
Use this snippet:

$client = new \Viber\Client([
    'token' => 'YOU_TOKEN',
]);

$botSender = new \Viber\Api\Sender([
    'name' => 'Whois bot',
    'avatar' => 'https://developers.viber.com/img/favicon.ico',
]);

// TODO: fetch receiver ids from you database
$receiverIds = [];

foreach ($receiverIds as $id) {
      $client->sendMessage(
            (new \Viber\Api\Message\Text())
            ->setSender($botSender)
            ->setReceiver($receiverId)
            ->setText('text message here')
        );
}

Yes, got you. But is there any way to make a viber call instead of message? Tried to google but nothing found.

As far as I know, calls via PA-api not supported.
