01
Text Message Notifications
Members choose Text Message in the native Flarum notification grid after verifying a phone. Preferences start off, and administrators decide which notification types the forum offers.
What You Get
02
Phone Verification
Members verify their phone number in forum settings with a code. Delivery reloads the current verified phone before sending, so messages go only to numbers that are verified.
03
Moderator Alerts
Moderators with the right permissions receive texts for flagged posts and approvals. You can also add up to ten moderator alert numbers that receive enabled events directly.
04
Privacy Conscious Messages
Texts include the sender name, a shortened discussion title and a link where appropriate. Post and private message bodies are never included, and texts are limited to 320 characters.
05
Routing On Your Site
Channels, senders and fallbacks are chosen on your Zender site. The forum sends only a phone recipient, a short text and a stable reference, and a single Connect approval links them.
06
Queued Delivery And GDPR
Jobs use the Flarum queue and retry transient failures within bounds. Optional native GDPR support exports and erases phone data through the standard request flow.
How It Works
Install The Zender Plugin
Upload the plugin in Admin, activate it, and enable Flarum and API Access on the plan. Verification also needs OTP / Verify API.
Install The Extension
Download the branded extension from Integrations, place it in your forum extensions folder and require it with Composer, then enable it in Flarum Admin.
Connect And Route
Click Connect in the extension settings, approve in Zender, and use Edit Routing to choose delivery. Run the queue worker and scheduler for durable delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Flarum Plugin for Zender?
Flarum Plugin for Zender is a paid plugin for Zender that adds text notifications, phone verification and moderator alerts to Flarum, with delivery managed on your site.
Do I enter a server address or API key in Flarum?
No. The downloaded extension fixes the service address, and you link it by clicking Connect and approving in Zender. There is no server address or API key field in the forum settings.
Which Flarum versions does it support?
It is built for Flarum 2.0.2 or newer in the 2.x series, with PHP 8.3 or newer and Composer. The Flags and Approval extensions are optional and the connector works without them.
Are retries reliable on any queue driver?
Use a durable queue such as the database driver and keep the queue worker running. The sync driver runs once during the request and cannot keep retries, so transient failures only produce a warning in the forum log.
