Text Messaging Plugin (Using Local Phone Service Provider)

Post by bconsulting » Sat Aug 01, 2015 4:02 pm

Hello,

I'm an international user. Most patient engagement software do not support text messaging to my country. I want to create a text messaging plugin that uses my LOCAL phone service provider to send text messages from Open Dental. I help dental practices implement OD, and this is their main request. To send Messages to patients, and let them reply with a YES or NO and then letting that change the appointment details in OD.

Cant his be done?
Do I need to hire a programmer or can I learn this stuff?
How do I connect with my local PHONE provider? What info do I need to get from them?

Where do I start?
