Receives SMS text messages sent from a cell/mobile phone and sends this as an output to any
connected Module. This Module can be used to perform anything from database
searches, product lookup to activities such as updating the content on a
website to sending an email.
When a new SMS2Web Module is created a
phone number and a unique identifying keyword are provided. The keyword should
be the first word included in the message.
It's possible to purchase specific keywords such as 'sales' in order to create
a more user-friendly message format.
| What appears on the web page |
This Module has no connected inputs (it receives SMS text messages and outputs these
to any connected Modules).
The outputs depend on the message received. The recommended message format is
name/value pairs. For instance a message received such as "sales week=26
product=car" and assuming the keyword 'sales' was associated with this Module
this message would output a field 'week' with the value 26 and 'product' with
the value 'car'. Typically these would be connected to a Database Reader Module to
perform a database lookup which could then be connected back to an Web2SMS
Module to return data to the phone.
