How do I create an SMS Newsletter?
Preparing an SMS Newsletter is trivial. Let's go through this step together!
To use the SMS Newsletter option and send SMS messages to your SMS subscribers, you need to have an SMS package purchased. If you don't have an SMS package purchased, please refer to the instructions on how to do this - here.
Remember, you can also take advantage of the free 100 SMS bundle per month, which renews on the 1st of the new month. Unused credits do not add up for the following month.
If you have subscribed to an SMS package, it is very simple to schedule your SMS Newsletter Campaign:

On clicking the button, you will be taken to a wizard where you can add the sender of the message, its content, select the recipients of the message (the entire contact base with confirmed SMS marketing consents, or created SMS subscriber segments), and the cluster in the form of engaged, unengaged, and total contacts:
3. That's it! If your SMS Newsletter message is ready, then send yourself a test message and then plan your SMS campaign:
