Form preparation for sending via SMS

[djole]

I’m researching sending forms via SMS and I’ve found this topic on the ODK forum where is a working example of how the form should look like:

SMS sending not working

Basically, I was wondering is it possible to allow the users to create a form like this on the Kobotoolbox by allowing them to set appropriate tags.

Hi @djole
I believe the post below addresses the concern you have. In summary, this is no longer supported.

Hi @esy_cari2020 The sending submissions via SMS have been disabled due to Google Play Store restrictions. See Removal of sending submissions via SMS in Collect for more information. Courtesy of ODK Stephane

Thank You, @stephanealoo.

I am aware of that, the idea is to use the default SMS app to send it. I would just appreciate it that there is a possibility to make such a form without having to “manually” change XML.

Unfortunately we do not provide that within the platform. However if you find a workaround, kindly share this so that other user can learn from you.

I guess the best workaround is to modify the XML and upload such a form as described in the first post I quoted.
