Hey, @ericwuu,

You can have Bubble’s link element:

  • Link Destination - External URL
  • Destination URL - sms://+14035550185

:slight_smile: :computer:

You may want to look into this page: Send SMS Messages From a Link with HTML - Orangeable

On bubble you would use a HTML element with the link on a tag or you could use the “Open an external website” action: .

HTML Element:

@hacker @it16
are you be able to successfully send sms to multiple recipients?

As far as I know, the meta url doesn’t allow multiple SMS destinations.

Your best option would be to loop through several SMS destinations and the user would be pushing the send button, back and forward from your app and the sms app that he may use. It isn’t a great UI experience, nor you will have been certain that the user did push the send button.

I wouldn’t rely on it for anything serious. You will have to use a service to do that.

For multiple recipients:

<a href="sms://open?addresses=+12223334444,+12223334445">Send SMS to multi #s</a>

Hi. I’m using this one and works great on iphones. However, on android phones, this seems to be not working.

I can’t even prepopulate a sms on android even using this one

sms://091524171;&body=messagehere

It says, invalid recipient in android but works fine on iOS.

using HTML element, it works on Android and iOS
