Using SMS services
Question
Forge
I would like to take advantage of SMS services. Employees want to get a message when an appointment is coming up. This they want to receive via an SMS message. I have 2 questions:
-how should I use the WapPusg extension and where do I specifically look for.
-What should be defined on the service center because now I get an error message with
"
Warning: Error processing outbound. System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:13013"

Hello Rob
The Platform includes a built-in SMS flow support, but it requires you to setup a SMS gateway based on Kannel 1.4, to have it properly working. This is typically used for large amounts of inbound and outbound SMS messages.
If you just need to send a few SMSs, I recommend integrating with online SMS services. Here's a few forge components to help achieve that:
SMS Connector
Clickatell Connector
If you really need to use this built-in feature for massive SMSs, then prepare for some configuration effort ahead. You'll need to:
Setup a supported SMS Gateway (Kannel 1.4)
Connect the SMS Gateway to a GSM modem or SMS Account provider
Configure the Platform to use the SMS Gateway
I would like to recommend some older posts regarding SMS, and direct you to the technical documentation that will allow you to setup a SMS gateway to be integrated with the built-in SMS support in the Platform.
Good discussion about the SMS built-in feature:

Hope this information helps.
