SMS messaging

[Hershy_s]

I would like to send my employees sms messages from Filemaker Go directly.

The 1st command is

Open URL [ “sms:” & Filter ( PhoneNumberField ; 0123456789) ] which would give the address of the SMS text message

But in the body of the SMS text i would like to insert the contents of a field.

 

Is that possible?

Rather than detail it out here, there is an excellent tutorial here.

Your previous post is talking about sending a sms message from Filemaker pro. I would like to send it from my iphone by inserting into the body of the SMS text the contents of a field

I solved the problem but not in the prettiest fashion.

I scripted a command to copy the contents of the message which I'm sending and then I Open URL [ “sms:” & Filter ( PhoneNumberField ; 0123456789) ] which would give the address of the SMS text message, then I paste the message into the body

Here's a easier way to do it:

 

If ( IsEmpty ( Contacts::Phone ) ; "" ; "sms:" & Contacts::Phone & "&Body=" & Contacts::SMS Message )

If ( IsEmpty ( Contacts::Phone ) ; "" ; "sms:" & Contacts::Phone & "&Body=" & Contacts::SMS Message )

 

Why define an empty result when you can get it for free?

 

If ( not IsEmpty ( Contacts::Phone ) ; "sms:" & Contacts::Phone & "&Body=" & Contacts::SMS Message )
