Button ➑️ Launch Text Message

Archived from the Bravo community forum (2021–2026). Some answers may refer to older versions of Bravo.

Quick Question πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

How can I create a button that prompts the user to text a specific number?

In short, instead of [action:email:support@bravostudio.app], I'd like to do [action:text:206-555-1234]. Is this possible?Β 

I have a line of HTML that can perform this action on a website:

<a href="sms://+18005551234">Text Us</a>

Can I integrate that as an action within Bravo?

After being directed to dialer page, user can choose to either call or text. As per I know, there's nothing like you can send to Message Typing directly.

Nik is right, there is no specific tag for that but as far as I know you are the first to look for it so feel free to post it in #FeatureRequests

Thanks for the response, Nik.

I tried this previously to no avail.Β 

On iOS devices, the only prompt is to call.Β Nevertheless, I'm attempting to open the SMS dialog exclusively.

The only workaround that I could see working at the moment, is to set a link directly to a WhatsApp text message.
