SMS
Three-panel SMS client backed by Telnyx — manage contacts, threads, and outbound campaigns.
SMS is a three-panel SMS client backed by Telnyx. It uses your live People table for contacts.
Layout
CanvasSmsCard renders three cards:
- Left — contact list
- Search across name, email, phone
- Filter pills by status / tag
- Each row shows name, phone, last-contacted-at
- Center — conversation thread
- SMS bubbles, inbound and outbound
- Call logs as inline events
- Date separators
- Compose bar at the bottom
- Right — contact details
- Identity info from the People table
- Quick actions (call, email, edit)
- Activity stats — message count, last contacted, conversation count
- Notes field
ContactDropdown in the breadcrumb is a quick jump to any contact.
Where contacts come from
SMS reads directly from the People table — no parallel contact list.
Anything you add to People (manually, via campaign, or via the
upsert_person() helper) shows up immediately in SMS.
