How to create a form to send SMS messages

This is the documentation for ConfiForms CLOUD app

Please learn the basics on how to create a simple form with ConfiForms in Confluence here: Creating a form in Confluence

Here we start with quite a similar approach, but will add 2 fields: one to ask for a phone number and another field to input the message

We will add a validation rule to verify the message is not longer than 160 symbols

This is what we are about to build

This is how the page looks like in the editor

We have 2 fields definitions, we have a field definition rule to check the length of the message field and the IFTTT rule with action to send sms

Field definitions are simple

Text field
Text area field

Field definition rule is configured as follows

-----

And the final touch is the actual macro that sends SMS messages - this is configured using ConfiForms IFTTT macro, with action "Send SMS"

Storage format for the solution (includes ConfiForms FormView to render form and TableView to show the results)
