How to use Quick Send to send an SMS Campaign
Quick Send
Quick Send allows you to send text messages to either individuals or thousands of numbers.
This is ideal if you want to send out messages without needing to upload your numbers first.
Go to Send SMS – Quick Send
Mobile numbers are added to the numbers window. These can either be typed in directly or you can copy and paste numbers from an Excel Spreadsheet.
There is no limit to the number of mobile numbers that you copy and paste across.
If Excel has cut off the leading 0 from your list of numbers, our system will automatically put the 0 back in.
The following mobile number formats can be processed.
07900122321
447900122321
7900122321
+447900122321
Give the campaign a name in the Campaign Name window.
Type in the sender ID – (maximum 11 characters including spaces)
Either type you message into the message text window or you can select a pre-prepared one from the message library.
If you would like your message to go out straightaway, then leave the Just Send option selected. If you’d prefer your campaign to be sent out later on, then select the Schedule option and choose a later date and time.
Press Submit to submit your campaign.
You’ll then be taken to the SMS Activity Log where you’ll see your campaign queued and waiting to go. If you need to stop your campaign for any reason, you can hit the Abort link on the right hand side.
You can also set the default sender name for your campaign; this is who the message is from and appears on the recipients’ phone as the message header.
Go to Send SMS – Default Sender ID – Click in the sender window and type the sender name. There is maximum of 11 characters including spaces. To set the sender name, press the Submit button.
