​

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 ā€˜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 ā€˜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 Ā£0.0372 per contact. For example, a campaign with 5000 contacts would cost Ā£186.00

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

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