SMS Send From Attribute Workflow Action Type

12.5 Workflow Complete

We use a relatively large number of SMS Send numbers and often need to be able to choose which number to send from algorithmically in workflows. This is very painful with the current SMS Send action type because we have to create a separate workflow action for each potential source number, set a condition on that action, and manually select the correct eleven-digit number from a defined value list without any indication of which number is associated with whom.

This would be much easier if we had an SMS Send From Attribute action type that let us pass the defined value in an attribute. Then we can use a Lava block to determine the correct number and drop it into the attribute followed by the new action that sends using that number.
