You can look into Twilio for sending SMS, I've used it on a few projects: https://www.twilio.com/

You can probably send the message from the afterCreate() hook: https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/panels/resources/creating-records#lifecycle-hooks

Alright good. Now how do I get the field value in my after create hook?

You can create a new notification using Twilio. Then you can edit your CreateUser.php page and add something like:

    protected function afterCreate(): void
    {
        $this->record->notify(new WelcomeEmail(Filament::getCurrentPanel()->getId()));
    }

    protected function afterCreate(): void
    {
        $this->record->notify(new WelcomeEmail(Filament::getCurrentPanel()->getId()));
    }

The Welcome Email notification is something like:

    public function __construct(private $panelId)
    {
    }

    public function __construct(private $panelId)
    {
    }

and if you want to send a link to reset your password:

url(route("filament.{$this->panelId}.auth.password-reset.request")

url(route("filament.{$this->panelId}.auth.password-reset.request")

$this->data['my_field_name']

Data seems to be undefined . I'm using the aftercreate() function inside my StaffResource class which extends a Resource. It this the right place to use it?

CreateStaff.php afterCreate you can also use $this->record
