SMS Flow¶

A SMS Flow is built out of a set of Rules. These Rules are the actions taken when a SMS arrives on the iovox platform. The SMS Flow is attached to a Link, just like a Call Flow. We only allow attaching of SMS Flows to Links with Mobile VoxNumbers attached.

The SMS Flow element contains all the individual SMS Rules. See below for the SMS Rules.
