Dial Phone.....

| I know, once properly configured, you can make phone calls directly from Sales Logix. Does anyone know if it is possible to customise a similar function for sending text messages to a mobile phone? |

I've used a company that supplied a DLL and an API to use their service. Below is the company which is in Australia but I imagine there would be similar everywhere. We used it to send out ticket info from support to techs.

| Thanks Leon i have had a look into Red Oxygen and it seems like a good solution. You wouldnt happen to know, or maybe you have it implemented, if you can get it so users can send text messages from within Saleslogix or does it have to be an Outlook function? |

| Absolutely - that's what we did. You register their COM API and call it from within SLX. I managed to get it working way back in 5.2 so you should have no problem in any version after that. If you use Red Oxygen, their developers were good support if needed. I could probably dig up the code if you needed it (although it was a while ago!) |

Code below. Just download their API or contact them. You should get a number of free trial messages.
*****************
set SMSobj = CreateObject("REDOXYGENCOM.SMSInterface")
With SMSobj
.email = "service@mycompany.com.au" 'for replies
.AccountID = "RedOxygenAccountID"
.Password = "RedOxygenPW"
.ProxyType = 2
.ProxyAddress = "192.168.20.21"
.ProxyPort = "8080"
end with
SMSobj.SendSMSMessage strmobilenumber , strmessage
if rtrim(cstr(SMSobj.ResponseText)) = "" then
'Write success history record or something
else
'Show Error
msgbox SMSobj.ResponseText,64,"SMS Error"
end if
set SMSobj = nothing
