    It is very important that you add the "SMS" button on the App builder as apps are mostly done through the phone. This will make your app builder work a thousand times better.

    Hello Odi,

    Thank you for contacting support.

    Before we can escalate this as a feature request, may we ask further details about the feature you want to be implemented? Do you want users to be able to send you an SMS or do you want the confirmation message to be sent to the user via SMS?

    Looking forward to your reply.

    I already did a work around by changing the url link to sms://. Instead of https:// nut having a button that opens up an sms window makes sense now that you are building apps.

    It’s a call to action button just like your call and email buttons .This button opens up your SMS so that users can press to send an SMS to an assigned destination as an alternative to calling or emailing. More people SMS more than calling and emailing.

    Hi,

    We will be escalating this to our back-end team for a feature request.

    Please do note that we don't have any estimated time of resolution for when this feature would be added. As soon as we have any information you would be updated through this thread.

    Thank you.

    I would like to see this too.


    You can add a "Make a Call" button, but not a "Send an SMS" button.
