Pre-populating message in the send SMS action

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

Hello,

I am using the free version of appsheet. I have an action button for sending an SMS. This action has a field called “Message”. I have set the value of this field as:

CONCATENATE("Thank you for ordering with Amadas Empanadas. Your order ID is: ", [OrderID])

When i test the app in prototype mode by clicking on the send SMS button, it opens the messaging app but doesn’t pre-populate the message that i have set.

If you are creating the message in the automation step itself then you simply need to use the following expression:

"Thank you for ordering with Amadas Empanadas.  Your order ID is: " <<[OrderID]>>

The message body is a text template. To use AppSheet functions or access app data, you need to use pre-processing indicators - e.g. “<<…>>”
