The Text tab provides the following fields for defining a notification to a pager, phone, or other SMS-capable device.

  • To (Required): Defines the SMTP email address(es) or an address(es) for an SMS-capable device. Separate addresses with semicolons (;). The maximum for this field is 3,000 characters. Some examples of SMS-capable devices may include:
    • AT&T Wireless - phonenumber\@txt.att.net
    • T-Mobile - phonenumber\@tmomail.net
    • Sprint - phonenumber\@messaging.sprintpcs.com
    • Verizon - phonenumber\@vtext.com

note

The SMA Notify Handler will insert a Notification ID using the format ID=nnn before any other information in the message so users can look up the source of a notification. For more information, refer to Looking up Notification Sources.

The resulting message contains only the user-defined message.
