SMS Notifications

SMS notifications can send an SMS message to a recipient, triggered by the completion of a form or by various job statuses. These are useful for sending shorter messages, but cannot be replied to.

Setting up the Notification

To create an SMS notification, simply click on New SMS Notification from the left-hand menu on the Notifications page.

Recipient Telephone Number

There are two options for adding a recipient for an SMS notification, either specifying a number yourself, or choosing a field from the form. You can only specify one phone number for this notification.

SMS Message

This is the area where you can type in the message. The message will be the same for each of the SMS notifications that go out, unless you choose to add form data using Select Field.

Notification Trigger

All SMS notifications that you set up are set to always send out by default, however if you only want them to go if certain criteria is met then you can select any checkbox within your form to be the Notification Trigger.

Adding Job Status fields can be useful for SMS notifications for progress monitoring as they can be set to trigger at each Job Status change.
