Hello, Is there a way to send SMS messages without using Alarm Notification Pipelines? I developed a system to do the shopfloor announcement with buttons, I was wondering if this button can be used to send SMS too. Example: When the user clicks on the button to call "Technician" the system records the data in the database and makes the announcement saying the Line/Machine/Technician. If this is possible what should be the script for that? Thanks ---

If you're using the Twilio module, you want [system.twilio.sendSms](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.twilio.sendSms). ---

You can send a text by way of [system.net.sendEmail](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.net.sendEmail) to a phone number ending @txt.att.net or @vtext.com (I am not sure if other carriers have an equivelant). It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but could be an alternative. ---

It's annoyingly dependent on which carrier the phone number is signed up with, but in most cases you can send a text message from the phone to a test email address (instead of a phone number) and the `From:` on the email it generates will be the correct one for that phone/carrier. Google Fi is `+18005551212@msg.fi.google.com` for example... ---
