Send SMS Easily from FileMaker 13 – Design for FileMaker Pro Developers

ANOTHER GREAT USE for the httpspost function, this time combining it with Twilio to easily send SMS via FileMaker. Thanks to Jeff England for thinking this one up.

Now execute the script. Congratulations! You have just sent your first SMS from FileMaker. If you take a closer look at the URL it uses an httpspost which is a FileMaker 13 feature. The POST request communicates with Twilio’s API to send the message to the supplied phone number using the account information you defined in the URL.

Better yet, this is easy to set up and not costly.  Check it out and download the example file while you’re there.
