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.

NOTE - If no Groups are in your "Select a Group" drop-down, you will need to add new Groups.
NOTE - If you are prevented from moving to the next campaign creation page, check that all required fields have been filled out, including having clicked Targeting's "Set Base Segment" button.
Continue with the "Senders" section of our campaign creation guide for the remaining steps of campaign creation.
