The Send SMS action sends an SMS to one or more recipients. The SMS is formatted according to the format specified in the monitor. If the monitor format specification is empty, the default format is used. The default format can be changed in the program settings page. The max message text is 160 characters. Excessive text is truncated before sending the SMS.
To use this action a SMS device must be configured and the operators must have a SMS number set.
