The Africa’s Talking integration is going to be useful for soooo many projects. This was a key request for the study on messaging for post-surgical follow up with Caryl Feldacker at I-TECH/University of Washington. ---

Hi CHT contributors! Integration with Africa’s Talking was released in v3.6. There have been a few questions regarding how sms aggregators work with the CHT platform to improve two-way messaging. Here’s a workflow diagram using Africa’s Talking to illustrate. We will be looking to add other sms aggregator service providers in the future. > **[Google Slides: Sign-in](https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/identifier?dsh=S-2063398008%3A1686830259054002&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fpresentation%2Fd%2F1vW3lVD5cfBJd-wn5KTah1zGJ1La9n96URsNjxLHjEjM%2Fedit%3Fts%3D5d3fec7b&ffgf=1&followup=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fpresentation%2Fd%2F1vW3lVD5cfBJd-wn5KTah1zGJ1La9n96URsNjxLHjEjM%2Fedit%3Fts%3D5d3fec7b&ifkv=Af_xneFFV2UXNs6C7y5_Yd2L8VjRv83JCSsEfBnYlFKmIq0FWBdOWO2iQob96BCzLII6A2XAXaXl<mpl=slides&osid=1&passive=1209600&service=wise&flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=ServiceLogin)** > > Access Google Slides with a personal Google account or Google Workspace account (for business use).
