naive question: can you store different data in different tables in rapidsms?

[Bill Olander]

Hi all,

  I've used frontline sms before but haven't used rapid sms, and as I'm learning more about this tool, I'd like to pose a question:

  While utilizing the same phone number, could you easily collect/store different information (from different questionnaires/projects) in different tables?  I'd like to ask health care centers to send in 2 - 3 messages that are unrelated to each other and for simplicity sake would like to store this information in different tables.

  Is this possible?  thanks for the help!

That is possible. You can write a custom app or use 3rd party apps such as xforms to capture sms data and programmatically store them differently.

I think this is pretty much possible. All you need to do is to define a unique keyword for each message that comes and redirect them to the respective SMS Handlers(app.py's) that will  process the incoming text msg and persist in a database.

Hope this helps.
