I've used this in the past.... https://apps.apple.com/us/app/telephone/id406825478?mt=12

It's now $59.99... wow

Also some people like to communicate via SMS. Having it on a PBX, allows you to communicate with those people. You can use a WebRTC client (on the desktop side), or a softphone (on the mobile side). I know of a couple of businesses who use SMS to send reminders for appointments. Hosting it...

Everything I found on the internet needed a "server" somewhere running modules written by Slack and Flowroute. I didn't want to deal with keeping another server up-to-date with patches and stuff, for something that might be used 1-2 times a month...

The custom app in Slack to send messages to Flowroute looks like this: To send a new message, You put the use the following string: 1NXXXXXXXXX: [message] To reply to a message, you use the reply in thread feature of slack. This way I know I've replied to a message. I thought about keeping...

In Slack, I have a custom integration to receive messages from Flowroute, and a custom app to send messages to Flowroute To receive messages, I'm using "Incoming Webhooks". Here are my integration settings: I did it this way, because I was lazy. :-) Everything is setup for me to receive...

The final step is a logic app Control called "For each". The logic app builder added it when I started creating the "Body" of the HTTP Post we will be using to send the Slack reply to Flowroute. "Select an output from previous steps" is the "messages" object from "Get Reply Text". I use this...

The sixth step is setting the "JsonResult" variable. We'll use this variable in the following step. The "Value" is the output of the "Compose" in the previous step.

The 5th step is converting JSON array we get "Parse Json to get SMS Number" This is the expression I use: string(body('Parse_Json_to_get_SMS_Number'))

The forth step is parsing the info we got from "HTTP 5" The "Content" is the "Body" ojbect retrieved from "HTTP 5". The Schema created using a sample payload from "HTTP 5"

The third step is another HTTP Get from Slack "HTTP 5" This time we are recalling the original message that started the thread. This is so we can get the SMS number from it. The original message in Slack is located using the "thread_ts" object from "Get Thread TS and TS" parser.

The second step I'm doing is retrieving the reply message from the thread: The "Content" is the "Body" object of the reply from Slack from "HTTP 2". The schema was created by using a sample payload from "HTTP 2"

In the first part of the "False" condition, we recall the reply thread. The "ts" is from the parsing of "Get Thread TS and TS" The "Channel" in the URL was retrieved using the Slack API tools. Since I'm only interested in 1 thread, I decided to hardcode this value. The Headers are also...

The "False" condition is much more complex. I have to figure out which Slack thread the reply is from, recall that slack thread, parse it for the SMS number, parse the thread reply for the reply message, and the do a HTTP Post to Flowroute. Here are those steps:

I'm using the "OR" condition. This will route the logic app to the 2 trees I have defined. The 1st part of the condition is the "SMS_Number" variable. The 2nd part of the condition is "contains". The 3rd part of the condition is an "expression". This is the expression "string(1)" What I'm doing...

I'm using a Condition to determine how the message was received. If it's a new message from Slack, It will use the "True" path. If it's a reply to a thread, it will use the "false" path

"Init SMS Number" is a variable. I am using the "Init Variable" function. "Init Json Result" is a variable. I am using the "Init Variable" function. "Get Thread TS and TS" is a Data Operation. I'm using the "Parse JSON" function. In the Content Section, I'm selecting the "Body" of the "HTTP...

The next 5 functions are used to parse the incoming Slack message, so that it is formatted correctly to be sent to Flowroute.

Sending SMS messages took a lot longer to figure out. I had to use a 2nd logic app to receive messages from Slack and send them to Flowroute to be sent as SMS In the 2nd logic App, I started first with "When a HTTP request is received" I used the URL that is generated here in Slack. This is...

Hi! So, I've been spending my off time figuring out how to efficiently use Flowroute SMS for my business needs. I decided to try and see if I could use Slack as my front end. I use a Mac, a desktop PC, an iPhone, and an Android phone. I needed something that would run on all of these...
