Q. With the sms Marketing Tool is there a way to code in calls to action?

A. If by calls to action you mean that a member or contact takes an action and then an SMS message is sent to them then yes.  You can either hire us to set it up for you as a support request or if you have someone familiar with php you can do this with a few lines of code.

<?php
include("tools/Telecom.php");

$message = "Example SMS Message";
$cellNumber = "555-555-5555";
$memberAID =  1;

$myMember = new Member();
$myMember->loadMember($memberAID);

Telecom::addSMS($message, $cellNumber, $myMember, time());
?>

The standard member ~~ variables are converted when the actual message is sent.
