How to schedule SMS messages for sending

alter table ozekimessageout add column scheduledtime

MySQL:
ALTER TABLE `ozekimessageout` ADD `scheduledtime` DATETIME NULL AFTER `errormsg`;

Setup scheduled SMS sending (configure Ozeki NG)

After the table layout has been modified, you need to open the database user configuration of Ozeki NG. The configuration modification is simple: you need to modify the SQL query used for selecting messages to be sent (Figure 1). This can be done by clicking on the "SQL for Sending" tab of the SQL user configuration form and changing the "Polling" query to this:

SELECT
   id,sender,receiver,msg,msgtype,operator
FROM
   ozekimessageout
WHERE
   status='send' and scheduledtime<now()

Notice the added where condition that will only select messages that can be sent from the database.

After this is configured, to send a scheduled SMS message all you have to do is specify the datetime value in the ozekimessagout table.
