Send reminder SMS

Hi everyone

I am trying to send an appointment SMS reminder referred to an DATA FIELD. 

How is this possibly, if it is!

I look on Zapier, but can't find the right app. 

thanks in advance.

    This can be done with messagebird.com using the API of messagebird. Code example:

    let response := do as server
            http("POST", "https://rest.messagebird.com/messages", {
                'Content-Type': "application/json",
                Authorization: "AccessKey " + 'API-key'
            }, {
                recipients: recipient,
                originator: Originator,
                body: Message
            })
        end;
    alert(text(response))
    

    where 'API-key' is the messagebird api key (text field),

    recipient is the receiver's phone number (text field),

    Originator is your phone number used to login to messagebird (text field)

    Message is the sms message (text field)

      Hi Steven, I've signed up for Messagebird and copied your script into Ninox, using to button to trigger this. I have pasted the Messagebird API as our API-key however in the Ninox script it is showing an error saying "field not found: our API key". Any ideas?

      I should have pasted this:

        Authorization: "AccessKey" + '123456789forexample'
              }, {

      Cirugia Toracica Use "Trigger after open" in the database Options and create a routine to loop through the appointment records that meet your date criteria.  You will also need to create a Yes/No field in your appointments table that gets set when a SMS has been sent to ensure it doesn't get sent again next time you open the database. 

      Of course, this will only work if someone actually opens your database, but it then doesn't need any external processes like Zapier.
