Hello Thunkable community,  
Hope y’all are doing awesome! I’m diving into some serious app-making action with Thunkable, and I’m in need of your help  
I’m currently working on a project where I need to send location via SMS automatically while managing other tasks simultaneously (like recording a video without it being visible on the screen).

I could really use some help and would appreciate it if someone could provide clear instructions and maybe share some screenshots on how to code this. Additionally, I’m curious about databases – are they free? Could someone explain how they work, and if possible, walk me through the process?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

My email is [leandro.morales.en@gmail.com](mailto:leandro.morales.en@gmail.com)

Not possible

Possible if you use an external sender and the webAPI but only while the Thunkable app is open

A bunch of db services offer some kind of free tier

Yes. My rate is 100/hr. Happy to set up some coaching sessions.

Additionally, please don’t [post](https://community.thunkable.com/t/location-sms-and-databases/2797133) about the same topic multiple times because you didn’t get an answer the first time.
