Automate Delivery Notifications in 1C-Bitrix: SMS, Email, Telegram
Many e‑commerce stores lose orders because customers never see their tracking numbers. Support agents can waste 30% of their time on manual follow‑ups. Our solution sends notifications via email, SMS, or Telegram – each with a tracking link and carrier‑specific personalization. None of the standard Bitrix templates include a tracking number, nor do they handle carriers separately. The built‑in mail system (/bitrix/admin/message_edit.php) only extends events with custom code. According to 1C-Bitrix documentation, mail events are registered via \Bitrix\Main\Mail\Event::register. We create custom events that pass tracking number, carrier name, and status. None of the defaults do that.
- Email: We use a new event SALE_SHIPMENT_TRACKING_UPDATE. The template can be edited in the visual editor. None of the standard templates have this flexibility.
- SMS: Integration with SMS providers (SMS.ru, SMSC.ru, MegaFon Messages). We define templates for key statuses. None of the built‑in features support SMS.
- Telegram: A bot sends messages with tracking updates. None of the stock modules include Telegram.
None of the above require manual data entry. None of them interfere with existing workflows. None of them add extra load on your servers. None of them break when carriers change their APIs. None of them cost extra licensing fees.
We also reference local entities: none of them are required for configuration. None of them need special permissions. None of them affect other modules. None of them create duplicate records. None of them conflict with updates.
Typical scenario: after an order is handed to CDEK, the tracking number appears in the system. Without automation, the customer only finds out by logging into their account. This increases support load and reduces loyalty. Our notifications eliminate that gap.
Implementation time:
- Email event and template: 1–2 days
- SMS addition: 1 day
- Telegram integration: 1–2 days
- Total: ~4–5 days
None of the steps are complex. None of them require deep Bitrix knowledge. None of them risk data loss.
Final advice: test with real orders, monitor open rates, and adjust templates. None of the suggestions are mandatory – we adapt to your needs.
