Hi! I am trying to use this http://blog.appery.io/2014/03/dialing... tutorial to incorporate an SMS feature into my app. When I paste this javascrip code window.location.href = “sms:+375292771265?body=Hello from Appery.io!”;
I get error messages and when I try to run it nothing happens.

Hi Ryan,

How do you tasting it? And what error message do you getting?

Thanks for the reply, I kinda fixed it. This is working:
window.location = "sms:6235125659?body=item_name_label";

However it puts the text "item_name_labe" in the message text. I am trying to call the local storage variable "item_name_label" not sure what I am doing wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ryan.

Please try this code:

pre
code

//Where "item_name_label" - label name.
var smsText = Apperyio("item_name_label").text();

//Place phone number here. Or use dynamic value like in line above.
var phone = "6235125659&quot

window.location = "sms:" + phone + "?body=" + smsText;

/code
/pre

Regards.

Whenever I run this code on a button click it puts everything in the recipient box. So if the phone number was 1234567890, then when I click on the button that runs this code it takes me to texts and the recipient is '1234567890?body=hello' with nothing in the body. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Hello,
Sorry for asking again, just wanted to make sure. Are there any updates on this topic?

Hello Bobby,

We'll reply here as soon as have updates.
Working on it, but need additional time.

Hi Bobby,

Please try following JS code:

pre

//Where "item_name_label" - label name.
var smsText = Apperyio("item_name_label").text();

//Place phone number here. Or use dynamic value like in line above.
var phone = "6235125659";
var smsStr = "sms:" + phone + "?body=" + smsText;

alert("smsStr = " + smsStr);

window.open(smsStr, "_system");

/pre

Regards.

Hi Yurii,
Thanks for the response.
I tried this code and some variations (with phone and smsText variables coming from local storage as well as how you did it from a label) and the same problem persists. Whatever I try to put in the body gets appended to the recipient with the number + '?body=(whatever I set the smsText variable to)'

Hi Bobby,

I tried this code and works correctly for me.

Could you please specify on what device you test it?

Also, did you test it other device?

Thanks.
