Messages and/or SMS app?

[PrettyBrutalXperience-Guy]

Hello community,

I started poking around trying to figure out how to send/receive text message and came accross two apps in the fusionpbx-app respository: SMS and Messages. Both look promising, but Messages is documented here: Applications — FusionPBX Docs documentation whereas SMS isn't. They have some redundant settings, which has me wondering:

is SMS deprecated by Messages or required by it?
Is anyone else using fusion to send/receive messages out there in production?

Most providers have a simple enough API but of giants have paved the way before me why not stand on their shoulders?

'Messages' is what you'd want to go with. Recent changes have broken inbound on the 'SMS' app, so don't even bother with it.

I attempted to get it going...didn't really see anything working right...saw this. I will take your advice. Shame it doesn't work anymore. 'Messages' is mainly web based? Like you cannot send from endpoints like extensions on Groundwire?
