Hi Kevin,
What high level problem are you trying solve?
Do you want the enumerator to get some confirmation that their form
has been sent? Do you want to alert a supervisor that enumerators'
data have been submitted? And what do want in the message you are
sending? A field value from the form? Summary data?
Also, where is your server located and what countries are you sending
the SMS' to. My guess is that Curtis' recommendation will only work in
the US. International SMS services aren't going to be free or always
available in the country you work in. SMS can be miserable to build
systems with, so would email notifications be sufficient?

is a recent discussion that Eric Couper started. You might want to
email him and see how far they've gotten.

Kevin,
One way is to have aggregate push each uploaded record to a google sheet and
then have a little script in the google sheet send an sms each time a new
line is added (the row of data that aggregate sent). See this link

Hey so I'm working on a project using ODK and have a somewhat, I think,
unique question. For my application, I need to have a field worker alerted
every time a form is submitted to Aggregate. Is there any way to have an SMS
sent to a phone every time a form is sent from Collect to Aggregate? In
doing some research, there's seems to be several different mechanisms by
which data can be sent from an SMS to Aggregate, but I don't see a way to do
have data sent from Aggregate to an SMS. Is this possible? Any help would be
extremely grateful. Thanks,
Kevin Keith

Yeah, so what we want is for a 'supervisor' to get a text message with a couple of the field values from the form that is uploaded.
And we will be working primarily in sub-Saharan African countries during this time, so Curtis's recommendation may not work, plus many of our work sites are rural so a preference is for SMS rather than email which requires a smartphone with data connectivity.
I will contact Eric Couper, but if anyone else has helpful insights in the meantime please pass it along. Thanks,
