Important Considerations
1. Queue Time
Messages are queued for delivery. If sending bulk messages, expect a few hours for full delivery.
To avoid late-night customer alerts, we recommend scheduling messages in the morning.
Bulk sends over 150 recipients are automatically divided into blocks of 150 per batch.
2. Permission Settings
Only customers who have opted in for marketing will receive SMS messages.
Manage this setting in Settings → Admin → Marketing → Enable Marketing Email & SMS Opt-In.
3. SMS Character Limit & Content Guidelines
Each SMS credit covers up to 160 characters.
Keep messages concise to optimize credit usage.
Messages exceeding 2 credits may be flagged as spam and fail to deliver.
Avoid using emojis, special characters, or symbols, as they can trigger spam filters and prevent messages from reaching customers.
4. SMS Credits
Ensure you have enough SMS credits before sending messages.
Purchase additional credits via Settings → Admin → Notifications → SMS → SMS Credits → Buy SMS Credits.
5. Testing Before Sending Bulk Messages
Before sending a large marketing campaign, we recommend testing the message by sending it to a small group (e.g., yourself and your staff).
This ensures the message is received correctly and helps identify any potential delivery issues before sending to all customers.
