Hello LouGibson,

Are you planning to send Text messages or emails.

Assuming text messages, please check following two links :

  1. https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/orders/notifications/sms-notifications

  2. https://shopify.dev/docs/api/messaging/reference

Looking at present I dont think any APIs are available(

Beta

The Shopify Messaging API is in closed Beta and not available to all Partners yet ).

Way should be use an APP and send SMS form your app by integrating your app to some SMS provider.

Your APP shall register some hooks or use some APIs to get some data/event from Shopify and based on that your APPs SMS integration shall result in SMS being sent.

Thanks!!
