Thunkable cannot send automated text messages so you would need a third-party service to do this. If you find one that can do this via an API then you could configure Thunkable to send the API call to trigger the message.
Also, please don’t bump topics that are only a few hours old. If you need immediate help, consider paying someone to assist you. Otherwise, we’re mostly just other users like you and we’ll help when we can.
