Campaigns > SMS Messages

SMS Alert Campaign: Choose this if you just want to send out a notice or announcement that does not require any sort of tracking. 

1. Click on "Add SMS Campaign".

2. Choose "Create Campaign" under the "Outbound" section from the first step.

3. Choose your list, and give your campaign a name. (Choosing a target is not required.) Click on "Continue" to advance to the next step.

4. Choose the "Alert" campaign type. Start typing your message in the big white box in the cell phone. If you have a personalized option you'd like to insert, select a token and click on "Insert".

Note: Please do not copy/paste text from Word or Outlook into the Message Box. Your delivery may be affected by doing this so instead, please type the text directly into the box below.

5. Once you are finished typing your message, click on "Continue".

6. You have now reached the final step of creating an SMS campaign. These are our default sending options.

Send Now: This sends your message out either immediately or within a range of 10 minute increments up to one hour.

Schedule Message: This allows you to schedule the message for a future time/date. The campaign will be sent accordingly but only as a one-time message.

Recurring: If you have a message that you wish to be delivered multiple times, you should use this option to deliver the campaign. You may set up the message to be delivered either every day/week/month or on selected dates.

Send to Test Account: It is recommended that you first send your message to a test group prior to sending to the entire list.

Save as Draft: This is good option if you are not ready to send your campaign. It will be saved with all of the changes you have made, and ready for you to send at your convenience at a later time.
