Importing formated data from SMSsync into Crowdmap


#1

Is it possible to bring an SMS into Crowdmap using SMSsync that contains formatted data and have it dropped directly into the system’s database?

For example, can the SMS contain comma or semicolon-separated data so that the data can be dropped directly into fields for Categories, geo-location, etc?   At present, I am just seeing it come in as a text string.

I am looking to reduce or eliminate the need for the SMS reports to be moderated.

Hi lawsontechnologymanagment, sorry for our delayed response.

To do this, you will need to add the SMSSync plugin. It is up to date.

For SMSSync, here are the docs: http://smssync.ushahidi.com/

I’ve also sent your request to our SMS Sync developer
