An action to send an SMS.
Id
The Id field shows the internal number of the action and its type. The number is for display only and is set automatically by the system. The action type cannot be changed afterwards.
Name
The name of the action. The name is displayed in selection lists.
Comment
The Comment field is for free use by the integrator/system administrator. It serves exclusively to document the configuration. Information can be entered here, e.g. the purpose of the action. The content of this field has no meaning for X2.
Delayed execution
A time span that elapses before the action is executed. A value here causes the action to be executed only after this delay once the trigger has fired.
Phone no.
In this field you can enter a phone number to which the SMS is sent. It is better, however, to select the recipient(s) from user management below (store the phone number in the user).
Text / Insert variable
In the Text field, enter the text of the message. Data can be inserted. Clicking the Channel button opens a selection dialog in which you select the channel whose value is to be inserted into the text. The required code is then appended to the text (in the form @[channel#id]). You can move this code within the text as desired and write text before or after it.
Add recipients
In this list you define the recipients of the SMS. Use the + symbol to add the users who are to receive the SMS (the Phone no. field must be filled in for these users for this to actually work).
Add triggers
In this list you define which triggers fire this action. Use the + symbol to add the desired triggers. The action is only executed when one of the selected triggers fires.
