SMS Task
The SMS task sends a text message, either as a standard text message (using MessageBird) or as a Government message (using GOV.UK Notify).
Settings
- Provider - MessageBird for a standard text message, or GOV.UK Notify for a Government message.
- Sender ID Override - an additional Sender ID required to use GOV.UK Notify. It's provided to you when you register to use that service.
- Phone Number - the number to send the message to, in international format. For example, if your phone number is
07912 123 456in the UK, enter+447912123456. Wikipedia lists the country codes used. - Message - the text to send.
- Retain status code - works the same way as on the HTTP Request task.
Notes
- Keep the message short and use basic text (not emoji or other uncommon symbols), as some phones may struggle to display long messages and emoji.
