Open SMS Popup
The "Open SMS Pop-Up" action is for triggering to open text messages right from the app.
What is it?
The "Open SMS Pop-Up" action allows users to initiate a text message (SMS) directly from within the app.
This functionality is particularly useful for apps that require quick communication via text, such as appointment reminders, customer support, or promotional messages.
How it works
When you enable the action to the Record View, there is a menu of action buttons added to the bottom bar of the record view.
For this action, you pre-define the phone number and the message content.
When users tap the action button, the app sends a command to the device's operating system to open the SMS app. The SMS app is pre-filled with the phone number and message content that you define. Users just simply tap the "Send" button to send the message.
Add the action
