Send Mobile Images via REDCap with Mosio Text Messaging

Add images to your REDCap messages using Mosio's Image Manager and custom tags. This feature is for Basic and Plus Plans.

This video shows how to upload images in Mosio and send them as MMS messages through REDCap. You'll learn how to use the Image Manager, generate image tags, and insert them into your REDCap messaging workflow. The system automatically parses the code so participants only see the intended image and text—no extra formatting or confusion.

NOTE: For sending and receiving MMS messages there is a premium cost. 
1 MMS = 5 Message/Segment Credits.

Alright, so here's what we're going to do. We're going to show you today how you can send MMS images via Mosio from REDCap. Now, it's important to note you need a basic or a plus plan to do this. What I'm going to do from the main dashboard is I'm going to go to tools, images.

Image Manager and then that's actually going to take me to my image list here. So I'll choose files. I've already done this. I've got one ready to upload.

And then I'm going to click Upload. And it will actually give me this little snippet of code. So I'm going to take that code and I'm going to copy it. I can also replace the image.

Or remove the image if it doesn't look good when I'm testing it on phones. And then what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to go to basically paste this into red cap. But what I'm showing here is inside of the direct functions. We have these character counters.

And you can. and craft your messages in advance of pasting them into red cap. This is a good idea because it shows you how many messages and segments and characters that you have. So I'm just going to paste this here.

And uh and then I'm going to copy it and. and uh paste that into red cap. Now what Mosio does is it will actually because it knows that this image is associated with this particular project, when it sees that code come in, it will actually parse it out and send the message instead. So the.

The subjects will only see in this message, they'll only see hello. Do you like baby pandas, they won't see any of this other coding. That's it. Uh again, you need a basic or a plus plan to do this.

Start on your dashboard. Go to tools. Image manage. Add your image. Grab the tag used in the message.

Place the tag and you're good to go. If you have any questions, let us know. Thanks and have a great day.
