How do I send SMS via RingCentral?
Short answer: You can ringcentral send sms in RingCentral by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the RingCentral RingCentral Send SMS action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
