You can use Alexa to do that. But you have to give Alexa access to your contacts and setup the messaging capabilities with those contacts. Technically it's not SMS but it is as close as you can get. After that is setup you would need to create a routine when the sensor is opened and then you would a custom action that would basically be like "Send message to {number} with Milk Man has made a delivery." Create that for each phone number and it should work.

It is a huge flaw that Ring Alarm does NOT send text for sensors and motion. There should be an option to receive text messages when a door sensor, window sensor or motion is detected.
Push notifications may not come thru based on wifi and they are difficult to see because they don’t remain on your phone screen. A text message will be easily seen and it remains on your screen so that you can be notified quickly if a sensor or motion is detected. Every other alarm system has had this feature for years. If I knew Ring didn’t have this feature I never would have purchased it.

I know a number of people who have chosen not to use the Ring alarm because of this lack of a text messing system.
In my case, I would like such a message to be sent to our security company’s monitoring centre.
