SMS Question:

Hello, I am trying to create an SMS operation that has these three functions:

1.) A user clicks one of three options that appends to the text body (example: "Option X, Text body."). How do I populate the text body when the user selects on of those options?

2.) The user chooses up to 8 people in a checkbox list to send the message to.

The goal is to for the user to be able choose one of the three options and have the selected option added to the text area, then the user appends to the text area (next to the option populated), then selects up to eight people from a list to send the message to. When they hit "Send" the text will transmit to the selected people and the text will send the option selected and the text:

Please visit development app at: http://www.tiggzi.com/view/364549ea-1... and click on the Quick Report button to see what I mean.

Thank you!

This can be easily done with JavaScript. Read the value (from selected options) and append to message variable.

How do you plan to send the text message? Are you going to invoke the native app or via some API, for example ATT SMS API?

Then link that you shared is private. To make it public, Test check Public.

What I said above in #1 should work.

You should check whether AT&T SMS API allows multiple recipients.
