Hi ,

As the parent of three Gen-Zers, there are many things I get 'schooled' about. One of those things is definitely my texting style. Apparently, I overuse punctuation 😳, send five texts when it could have been one 😉, and abuse emojis.

I beg to differ 😜.

But while I apparently have a lot to learn before sending texts that don't elicit eye-rolls from my kids,  I am pleased to announce that if you are looking to send and receive SMS messages from your APEX application but thought you couldn't, our very own Cody Reandeau has a detailed post that shows you just how you can!

So read on, and while we can't guarantee you a Gen Z stamp of approval, we've got you covered with the technical how-tos.
