Create/Edit SMS Templates

A new template must have the following information:

  • Name of Template: this is to help you identify what the template is for, e.g. new order confirmation, closed for maintenance, welcome message etc.
  • SMS Text: this is the actual message that you want to save. You can also include tags that will be substituted during sending e.g. [name]

Once you save a template, you can use it when sending out individual text messages or SMS campaigns.
