I am trying to create a click event using code:

Send a SMS

I can’t seem to get the button to respond, what am I doing wrong?

Some general questions?

Do you work the first time with velo-code?
Where did you find the shown code-snippet?

<a href="sms://+1800605xxxx?&body=I%27m%20interested%20in%20your%20product.%20Please%20contact%20me.">Send a SMS</a>

I can’t seem to get the button to respond, what am I doing wrong?
Of which button is talked about?

I assume that you will need to use an HTML-Component to implement this code-snippet.

Here some links, which could help you to solve your problem…

or try TWILIO…

I haven’t tested this but you may be able to potentially do this using the wixLocation API

In the docs it states that it works with

  • mailto:@<someplace.com>?subject=: An email.

  • tel:: A phone number.

Might also work with SMS

import wixLocation from 'wix-location';

$w("#button").onClick(() => {
   wixLocation.to("sms://+1800605xxxx?      &body=I%27m%20interested%20in%20your%20product.%20Please%20contact%20me.");
});
