Add a Text Message Connector

Overview
Fully harness the power of MobiRules with a Text Message Connector. With a Text Message Connector, like Twilio, you can enable text message (SMS) notifications for events taking place.

For instance, administrators can be messaged when a new customer is added to the system, or a customer can be messaged once their technician is en route to the work site.
