Campaign Details for the UK

  • General campaign details
    • Name - Make sure to use consistent naming conventions. Message senders can see the names of campaigns.
    • Description - The description is visible to senders, so you can use it to give them brief instructions to guide their texting. This is also a great place to let your senders know who to contact if they have assignment questions.
  • Initial Message Sending Window 
    • Start and End Dates - The window in which initial messages can be sent through the Messenger. The Start date and End date can be edited after launch.
  • Daily Open Hours 
    • Open and Close Times - Settings default to 9 am to 9 pm local time.
  • Organization ID and Opt Out Language 
    • Both the Organization Display Name and Opt Out language are sent to the contact in your initial message script. They identify who the message is from and how to opt out of text messaging.
  • Sending Phone Number"Screenshot of black text on a white background with the header 'Sending phone number.' Below, a phone number appears in a dropdown menu with the word 'Manage' in blue above it.

      NOTE - If no dedicated phone numbers have been added to the account, clicking the "Manage" button will take the admin to the Phone Numbers page.
