Tips for Text Message Notification in Calem

Calem workflow email notifications can be altered in mobile devices including 1) By an email clients on your device - an email client can be configured to raise an alert when a new email arrives;  or 2) As a text messages or SMS (short message service of about 160 characters). Text message notification is implemented as mobile operator emails when available. 

When setting up the email of a user or a team, "Email SMS" may be configured per mobile email operators to deliver SMS via email. A short version of the workflow email notifications will be generated by Calem for delivery to SMS emails.

Here is a list of some known US operators who provide SMS service via email (https://www.wikihow.com/Text-Message-Online).

Some email addresses for international operators are listed in here here. For instance, SFR France is <10-digit-number>@sfr.fr, and China Mobile is <11-digit-number>@139.com.
