Implement "TextSend" for iOS and Android phones

I am developing an application for aircraft fuelling. Currently the fueller has to fuel the aircraft and produce a paper printout. He then texts to administrative office for them to produce an invoice for the customer. It would be useful for the fueller to be able to enter the fuel details in Nomad and click submit, which would automatically send the text.


I think this feature would be useful in many other contexts, such as for delivery drivers, or in warehouses, other logistics operations, hospitals, etc.

      You are developing Nomad to take advantage of other features offered by Android and iOS devices, such as photo capture, screen-based signature capture, etc. MailSend has been a feature of Domino for ever. TextSend would be simply the modern equivalent for mobile devices. While prepopulating the text message is ok, being able to send the text directly from the Domino application should be the goal.

      As this is working from the advice given, we have no plans to add this feature.

      Please continue to vote if you think this is still a feature we should add. (2)

      This prepopulates the text message in lotusscript but won't send automatically. It is necessary to close the quote marks after the = sign and append the variable text.

      Dim TextBody As String

      TextBody = "Some variable text here"

      Call workspace.URLOpen("sms:phone-number?body=" & TextBody)

      it should be possible to at least pre populate the text message with an @URLOpen("sms:phone-number/&body=BodyText")
      can you please try?
