IBeam.Communications.Sms.AzureCommunications

IBeam.Communications.Sms.AzureCommunications implements ISmsService using Azure Communication Services SMS. It keeps SMS delivery behind IBeam abstractions while handling ACS option binding, connection fallback, message validation, and provider exception translation.

When To Use This

  • You use Azure Communication Services for SMS delivery.
  • You want application services to depend on ISmsService, not the Azure SMS SDK.
  • You need provider failures translated into IBeam SMS exception types.
  • You want default sender phone numbers configured centrally.

What This Package Contains

Area Type(s) Purpose
SMS provider AzureCommunicationsSmsService Sends SmsMessage with Azure.Communication.Sms.SmsClient.
Provider options AzureCommunicationsSmsOptions Holds the ACS connection string.
Connection validation AzureCommunicationsSmsConnectionStringValidator Validates ACS connection string shape.
DI registration AddIBeamCommunicationsSmsAzure(IConfiguration) Registers provider options and ISmsService.
Error translation SmsProviderException, SmsConfigurationException Surfaces provider and configuration failures in IBeam exception types.

Architecture Fit

API <-- DTO/model object --> Service <-- Entity --> Repository

This package is a provider implementation. A domain service decides when an SMS should be sent and calls ISmsService; this provider sends the message through Azure Communication Services.

Quick Start

using IBeam.Communications.Abstractions;
using IBeam.Communications.Sms.AzureCommunications;

builder.Services.AddIBeamCommunications(builder.Configuration);
builder.Services.AddIBeamCommunicationsSmsAzure(builder.Configuration);

Configuration:

{
  "IBeam": {
    "Communications": {
      "Sms": {
        "FromPhoneNumber": "+16145551212",
        "DefaultToUs": true,
        "Providers": {
          "AzureCommunications": {
            "ConnectionString": "endpoint=https://example.communication.azure.com/;accesskey=..."
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Send an SMS:

public sealed class VerificationSmsService
{
    private readonly ISmsService _sms;

    public VerificationSmsService(ISmsService sms)
    {
        _sms = sms;
    }

    public Task SendVerificationCodeAsync(string phoneNumber, string code, CancellationToken ct = default)
    {
        var message = new SmsMessage
        {
            Body = $"Your verification code is {code}."
        };
        message.To.Add(phoneNumber);

        return _sms.SendAsync(message, ct: ct);
    }
}

Configuration

Setting Default Purpose
IBeam:Communications:Sms:Providers:AzureCommunications:ConnectionString preferred Provider-specific ACS connection string.
IBeam:AzureCommunications fallback Shared ACS connection fallback.
IBeam:ConnectionString fallback Shared IBeam connection fallback.
ConnectionStrings:AzureCommunications fallback Named connection-string fallback.
ConnectionStrings:IBeam fallback Named IBeam connection fallback.
ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection fallback Default connection-string fallback.
IBeam:Communications:Sms:FromPhoneNumber required by shared defaults Default sender phone number.
IBeam:Communications:Sms:DefaultToUs true Shared normalization hint.

The provider connection string should look like:

endpoint=https://<resource>.communication.azure.com/;accesskey=<key>

Service Operations, Auditing, And Permissions

This provider does not own the business audit or permission boundary. Tag and wrap the consuming service method that decides to send SMS.

[IBeamOperation("identity.otp.send")]
public Task SendOtpAsync(Guid tenantId, Guid userId, string phoneNumber, CancellationToken ct = default)
    => _operations.ExecuteAsync(
        this,
        token => SendOtpCoreAsync(tenantId, userId, phoneNumber, token),
        new ServiceOperationExecutionOptions
        {
            TenantId = tenantId,
            EntityId = userId
        },
        ct);

Operation names can later be used by IBeam access-control rules and audit queries.

Data Storage

This package does not create database tables or durable stores.

Storage Item Created By This Package Notes
Azure Table Storage tables No No schema is owned by this package.
SMS outbox/history No Add a consuming-service repository if durable retry/history is required.
Azure Communication Services resource No The ACS resource and phone numbers are managed outside this package.

Extension Points

Extension Point Interface Why Replace It
SMS provider ISmsService Replace ACS with Twilio or a custom SMS provider.
Sender defaults SmsOptions Override sender phone number globally or per send.
Retry/outbox Consuming service/repository Add durable retry and status tracking outside this provider.

Package Relationships

Package Relationship
IBeam.Communications Shared SMS contract, model, options, validation, and exceptions.
IBeam.Communications.Sms.AzureCommunications Azure Communication Services SMS provider implementation.
IBeam.Communications.Sms.Twilio Reserved Twilio package; currently scaffolded.

Extended Examples And Agent Guidance

Troubleshooting

Problem Likely Cause Fix
Startup validation fails No valid ACS connection string found Configure provider-specific connection string or one of the supported fallbacks.
SMS sender rejected ACS phone number is missing, invalid, or not SMS-enabled Verify FromPhoneNumber and ACS phone number provisioning.
Recipient validation fails Recipient is blank or invalid Use E.164 phone numbers where possible.
Provider returns 429/5xx Throttling or temporary provider issue Retry from a consuming outbox/service if needed.
No audit row is written Provider sends are not business operations Wrap the consuming service method with IServiceOperationExecutor.
