SMS Through Workflow

Wed Dec 5 06:00:50 EST 2007

Hi,

The steps for configuring SCOT depends on your SMS service provider.

The system needs some sort of an external service in order to be able to send outgoing SMS messages.
Once you set up an account with the service provider, the node at transaction SCOT should look something like this:

I hope this helps. You are welcome to ask further questions.
Thanks,
Ronen

		Hello David,

		We have a workflow sending out SMS messages.

		The way it is set up is as follows:

		1. Maintain the mobile number either in the person or the user master data
		2. Create a method or an attribute to read that number from the master data record.
		3. Create a method for sending the message based on SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 function module. Be sure to pass the parameter  sender_address_type        = 'B' 
		4. Your message is sent via the SCOT mechanism

		Of course you have to set up in transaction the option to send SMS via the PAG node. We did it with an external service provider that receives an http string from us. 

		It works very good for us (hundreds of messages each day)

		Good luck !

			Hi David,

			I have done it before. Every mobile number has its own email address. You can get it from mobile career. (for example tmobile has :1234567890 at tmomail.com ). 

			Just use send email step to send message to this address. Make sure to keep number of characters limited as per max length of SMS.

				Hi,
				Has anyone ever managed to send SMS messages from a workflow?
				I believe this is possible reading the SAPConnect documentation on help.sap.com <http://help.sap.com/> . 

				If so can anyone tell me how this is done?
				I have a requirement that when a new project (BUS2001) is released that we get the mobile number of the project manager from SAP HR and SMS them to let them know it has been released. 

				Many Thanks
				David
