Charl Smit

Worked on the dimagi/commcare-connect repository to reintroduce SMS messaging support in the Send Message view, achieving feature parity with existing push notifications. The solution involved adding a message_type field to the form, updating backend task logic to reliably handle both SMS and push channels, and refreshing the user interface to expose multi-channel options for operators. Using Python, Django, and Celery, the work stabilized the SMS delivery path and reduced the risk of regression from previous removals. This update expanded communication reach, improved operator clarity, and ensured consistent multi-channel messaging workflows across both backend processing and frontend presentation.
