Add an SMS Text node to the dial-plan

[georgeharb]

It would be great if there was a node available in the dial-plan editor to send a preformatted text message to the caller.  This has many use cases, such as in the auto-attendant for the caller to receive a text with the URL for an online order menu, a website, a location, etc...

I know we can do this using the HTTP Notify node.  But this requires integrating with a 3rd SMS provider.  Why go to a 3rd party provider when SMS is already built into GoTo

Having the ability to send a text\SMS as a tool step within the dial plan configuration tool would be amazing. Ideally, you would be able to send the SMS with a specific OB ID with this logic. This would be especially helpful with regard to after-hours notifications of staff and groups within an enterprise.
