The SMS action can be used to automatically send a text message notification when images have been created, or if the file did not convert successfully. Created files are not attached to SMS messages and SMS messages are always send silently.
Most wireless, or cellular, phone numbers have a corresponding email address created using the cell phone number and the SMS gateway of the cellular provider. By combining them together to create an email address, [email protected], an email can be sent that is delivered to the mobile device as a text message.
Use this mail service
Choose either Outlook or SMTP as the mail service to use to send the SMS email.
An SMTP server, which does not require an email client to be installed, can be used to send email. When chosen, the Settings button is available to display a flyout panel to set up your SMTP server settings. You will need your SMTP server address, and other credentials from your IT personnel. Emails sent using an SMTP server are always sent silently with no prompting.
When using Outlook, it must be installed and an email account created in order to send email. SMS emails sent using Outlook are always sent silently.
On Success\On Failure
SMS text notifications can be sent when the file conversion succeeds, when it fails, or for both cases. There are two tabs at the top to switch between success and failure and enable or disable them independently. The options shown on each tab will depend on which mail service, Outlook or SMTP, is selected.
Send SMS message when documents are created\when conversion fails
By default this setting is disabled. Enabling this setting means TIFF Image Printer will use the mail service settings, phone number and cellular provider gateway to send an email that will be delivered as a text message to the mobile device.
