Sending SMS messages from or via Squiz

(Birdg) #1

Hi,

 

Is it possible to connect Squiz to an external API to send SMS messages?

 

For example, http://api.txtlocal.com/docs/sendsms

 

I'd be interested to know whether anyone has done something similar to this.

 

Thanks,

 

Graham

For the example you posted you might try the REST resource trigger action. We use this fairly widely to connect Matrix with 3rd party APIs, but I don't have any public facing examples I can show off the top of my head. If the service needed a SOAP call that is also available, and there is also the ability to authenticate using OAuth2 which is fairly common in these APIs.

From the look of it that API should be relatively simple to hook up. Forms also come with a call rest resource action, and you could also use the rest resource (javascript) asset to do it. Use something like http://requestb.in/ to debug your reuqests to make things easy for yourself :)
