Purpose

Adds connector catalog docs for the newly released ballerina/smpp connector (SMPP v3.4: send and receive SMS through an SMSC), under Connectors → Messaging → SMPP.

Changes

  • connectors/catalog/messaging/smpp/: overview, setup guide, action reference (Client: submit, submitMulti, submitData, queryStatus, cancel, replace, close), trigger reference (Listener, service callbacks onDeliverSm/onDataSm/onError, Caller), and an example page. Same 4-page layout as sap.jco/smb, plus the example.
  • Example page: builds an automation that sends an SMS with a delivery-receipt request, with credentials bound to configurables. It has 6 screenshots captured from WSO2 Integrator against ballerina/smpp 1.0.0 from Central.
  • Sidebar entry added between SMB and Snowflake.
  • DocBreadcrumbs: a connector page can opt out of the category badge with hide_category_badge: true frontmatter. The SMPP overview uses it. Every other page renders exactly as before.

Checklist

  • npm run build passes, with no new broken links or images
  • Pages and images verified on a deployed preview

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added an SMPP connector guide covering setup, supported connection modes, TLS, sending and receiving messages, delivery receipts, and available operations.
    • Added configuration examples and references for client actions and listener triggers, including message and delivery-receipt details.
    • Added the SMPP connector to the documentation catalog for easier access.
  • User Interface
    • Connector overview pages can now hide the category badge in breadcrumbs when configured to do so.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds SMPP connector documentation for setup, client actions, listener triggers, and an SMS submission example. Adds the connector to the documentation sidebar. Updates breadcrumb rendering so overview pages can suppress the category badge through front matter.

Changes

SMPP Connector Documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Connector overview and setup
en/docs/connectors/catalog/messaging/smpp/overview.md, en/docs/connectors/catalog/messaging/smpp/setup-guide.md, en/sidebars.ts
The new overview describes SMPP capabilities and links to related pages. The setup guide lists account details, bind-type constraints, and optional TLS materials. The sidebar links to the new connector pages.
Client configuration and submit operations
en/docs/connectors/catalog/messaging/smpp/action-reference.md
The action reference documents client bind configuration, TLS initialization, and the submit, submitMulti, and submitData operations.
Message management and session close
en/docs/connectors/catalog/messaging/smpp/action-reference.md
The action reference documents queryStatus, cancel, replace, and close, including their bind requirements and behavior.
Listener configuration and trigger behavior
en/docs/connectors/catalog/messaging/smpp/trigger-reference.md
The trigger reference documents listener setup, callback response modes, receive and reply examples, and Sms and DeliveryReceipt fields.
SMS submission example
en/docs/connectors/catalog/messaging/smpp/example.md
The example describes configuring an SMPP client and an automation that submits an SMS, requests a delivery receipt, and logs the returned message ID.

Breadcrumb Category Badge

Layer / File(s) Summary
Category badge visibility condition
en/src/theme/DocBreadcrumbs/index.js
Breadcrumbs now show the category badge on overview pages only when frontMatter.hide_category_badge is false.

Shorten the page URL slug.

The action-reference slug is longer than the H1, Actions, and adds a keyword that the title does not use. Rename the file to actions.md and update its links.

As per path instructions, “URLs must be shorter and more concise than titles.”

Replace underscores in the screenshot URLs.

The six image URLs use underscores in their filenames. Rename the assets and update these references to use hyphens.

As per path instructions, “All URLs must be lowercase. No underscores or special characters are allowed except hyphens.”

### Step 3: Bind the connection parameters to configurable variables

Switch each field to **Expression** mode and select **Configurables** in the expression editor to create a configurable variable for it, rather than typing a literal. Keep credentials out of the flow so they never reach source control.

Keep the password out of source control. The Configure editor writes configurable values to Config.toml, so configurables alone do not keep the SMPP password out of source control. Tell users never to commit Config.toml and to add it to .gitignore, or provide the password through a protected runtime secret source.

Create the destinationNumber configurable before using it.

The earlier steps create configurables for the connection fields, but do not explain how to create destinationNumber. Step 5 lists it only as a value to enter. Add a step to create a string configurable named destinationNumber; otherwise, the expression references an undeclared identifier.

Align the page title with the URL slug.

The trigger-reference slug is longer than the one-word H1, Triggers, which violates the URL optimization rule. Expand the H1 to a keyword-aligned title such as SMPP trigger reference, or shorten the slug and update its links. As per path instructions, “URLs must be shorter and more concise than titles.”

Use TLS in both credentialed listener examples.

Both examples pass systemId and password without secureSocket. This file states that the default is plaintext TCP. SMPP includes the bind password in the bind PDU, so an on-path observer can capture it when a reader deploys either example over an untrusted network without another encrypted tunnel. Configure secureSocket in both examples, or label them as local/test-only and warn against production use. (smpp.org)

Do not promise that every receipt includes receipted_message_id.

These lines say SMPP guarantees the TLV. SMPP v3.4 defines it as optional and says it should be present for delivery receipts; it does not require its presence. Describe it as the standardized correlation field when supplied, and tell callers to handle its absence. (smpp.org)
