Sending A text

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

Hi,

I have the following columns on my dispatch table in my security app:

Properties
Tech (Initials)

I’ve been sending text messages to my technicians once the app is synched, but is there a way to essentially say "You have a dispatch call at this [Property]?

would it be something similar to [Tech], [Property].[_Thisrow]…like a selection?

Hi @blueocean, you could try something like…
<<[Tech]&", you have a dispatch call at this "&[Property]>>

3

Would that go in the formula slot, or would that go in the sms to section?

You can add it to SMS rule’s definition.

5

Should I add a column in the back end with their phone numbers?
so it would look like

<<[Phone Number],[Tech]&", you have a dispatch call at this "&[Property]>>?

Sorry I need a bit more definition or maybe an example?

Please check this article how you can send SMS messages.

I understand.

For this text string, what am I doing wrong?

<<[Tech]&", you have a dispatch call at this “&[Properties] for a &[Complaint]”>>

8

Try with… <<[Tech]&“, you have a dispatch call at this “&[Properties]&” for a "&[Complaint]>>
