Anyone ever have the BrightSign player send a text message in response to a touch event?  Some sort of plugin?

    If you already know the phone number and carrier, most carriers have an SMS/MMS gateway email address that's 10-digit-phone-number @ some . carrier . server

    For example, AT&T uses txt . att . net and mms . att . net

    That is very cool!

    How do you send that email from the player?

    You'd still need to interface with a trusting email server or web server to get the message sent, but it's less likely to cost you as your existing IT probably has the means to set something up.

    How do you send an email directly from the player?  I get that I need to hit a relay server but is there a plug-in for sending an email...say every time a touch event happens?

    Are there any updates for this? I would like a player to send an emails based on touch events. This is for a guest check in application

    Few options:

    https://smtpjs.com/

    https://sendgrid.com/

    You'd need to set up DKIM in your domain DNS, so you don't get blacklisted and blocked.

    Or brew your own solution in the cloud with AWS API Gateway, and SNS

     

    A paid service with support is recommended.

    Free is expensive
