Step 1: Log in to Purlos

Log in to your account and go to the ‘Roadmap’ section.

Step 2: Start a New Campaign

Click the ‘Create’ button located in the upper-right corner of the Roadmap page and choose ‘Create SMS Campaign’.


Step 3: SMS Campaign Details

Once you've created your SMS campaign, give it a name and set your target send date.



Step 4: Build Your SMS Template

Before designing your template, please review and confirm the following prompt



Please note that you message template will only cater:

  • Character limit: 160 characters

  • Emojis: Not supported

Step 5: Submit for Approval

After finalizing your SMS message:

  • Click ‘Request Approval’
    Your template will be reviewed internally and approved.

  • Make sure to include the 'Estimated Contacts' field before proceeding.


Step 6: Upload Contacts and Schedule

Once the template status changes to ‘Awaiting Import’, you’ll be able to:

  • Upload your contact list

  • Schedule the campaign for delivery

Please note

  • This feature is a paid add on

  • It will cost £0.0372 per contact. For example, a campaign with 5000 contacts would cost £186.00

  • The campaigns will only be sent via SMS, not WhatsApp

  • Before the campaign can be sent, it requires Purlos approval
