Introduction
A message to send or received from a device.
When working with text messages it is important to make the distinction between a "Reply" and a "Response".
  • Reply: A reply is a Text Message that is a Reply to another text message. For example: A text message is sent to a device and the device replies with a text message of it's own.
  • Response: A response is a predefined ("canned") response within a text message. For example: A text message is sent to a device with a number of canned responses to reply with (Yes, No, Maybe). One of those responses is selected by the driver and is the message of the Reply from the device.
