Accept SMS and display its message

(Steven) #1

Hi,

We have a 3rd party system that currently sends out SMS with short messages in emergencies. Is there functionality in Matrix to accept what’s sent out and display each message to the public?

Thanks
Steven

Hi @sgardner,

I think your best bet, if you could, would be to use an integration where you control what gets sent via SMS and what content appears in Matrix, for example, Squiz Integrations and something like the AllMySMS component.

If you have that, then you just use the same message content to send as an SMS and also publish Matrix content.

What’s the 3rd party system you use? If it has a good API, you could even just have triggers in Matrix send Matrix content created under a certain place get sent as SMS messages.

Cheers,
iain

Hi @isimmons

Thanks for your suggestion. I’ll read up on AllMySMS and take this back to my team.

Much appreciated.
Steven
