Text When You Get Home Safely with Zapier

What's this blog post about?

I made a setup using Zapier and Vonage to send an SMS whenever I press a smart button, which uses no code at all. To complete this tutorial, one needs a Vonage API account and a virtual phone number. The process starts by setting up a Zapier trigger with the flic button as input, then configuring the SMS to send using the Vonage API account information. This allows for customization of the message, including the "From" field which can be either an owned or purchased number, the "To" field with the recipient's E.164 format number, and the "Text" field where the message is composed. Once set up, turning on the Zap and giving it a name makes it easy to send an SMS whenever the button is pressed, using no code.
