Before you start

FAQs

Can I test an SMS to myself first?


Yes. Use the Test SMS option in the editor to send a preview to a single number.

Will customers get duplicates if they’re in multiple segments?

No. A customer included in multiple Included segments will still receive only one message.

What if messages aren’t delivering?

  • Confirm your sending number is verified, your audience has valid phone numbers with country codes, and that carrier filtering isn’t triggered by prohibited terms.

  • Check Contacts for delivery errors and retry with adjusted copy if needed.
