Send text messages

If you want to send a text message using a button, follow these steps to set it up.

To trigger a message with a button, you need two fields:

  1. Formula URL - Call this Send Text

  2. Checkbox - Call this Send Text Checkbox

For the Formula URL field, paste in this string and replace yourapptokenhere with your own app token:

URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord&rid="& [Record ID#]
&"&_fid_294=0"
& "&apptoken=yourapptokenhere"
& "&rdr=" &
URLEncode(URLRoot() &"db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord"
& "&rid=" & URLEncode([Record ID#])
&"&_fid_294=1"
& "&apptoken=yourapptokenhere"
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() &"db/" & Dbid()& "?a=doredirect&z="&Rurl()))

You need to include your own app token in this formula. The number 294 is the field ID placeholder in this example—replace it with the FID of the Checkbox field you created.

Then make sure the checkbox field is set up as the trigger in the email notification.

You can also set the Formula URL field to be a button by changing the properties below the formula section.
