Hi all

I am looking for suggestions as to if FME Flow can automatically send text messages out to members of the public.  The scenario is as follows:-

The day before a collection is due, FME runs an automation which finds all registered users who have signed up for notifications and live within the collection zone, and then sends a text message out to them to remind them of the collection.

Any ideas if this is possible…

Thanks

Andy

Yes (in fact I’ve been meaning to look into this myself).

Basically you need to find a messaging service, I’m looking at Twilio at the moment but there’s more that I haven’t researched yet, that has a range of options and price that works for you and has an API.

You can use FME Flow to access that API and then send the messages.

I use the Twilio too.
