I would like to have a "Send and SMS" button added to the App Builder

    I would like to see this too.


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

    Hi again,

    Thank you for your request!

    As my colleague has done on our original thread https://www.jotform.com/answers/3523303 , I have opened a feature request ticket with our development team in regards to potentially implementing this. While we cannot guarantee that this will be implemented, if/when we hear back from our development team, we will be sure to update you via this thread.

    We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding!

    I saw there was some confusion in the communication above (so I thought I would illustrate it to make it clear).


    A workaround (likely as the person above has done) was to create a link and use "SMS:+15555555555"


    This worked on my iPhone and Mac book.

    Hi there,

    Thank you for your response!

    We are glad to hear that you were able to find a workaround as the person in our original thread has done and that it will work in the interim.

    As mentioned, if/when we hear back from our development team in regards to potentially implementing and SMS Call to Action button, we will be sure to update you via this thread.
