SMS messages
To send SMS messages, you need to set up integration with your SMS provider, then create and send the message to the recipient segment
Integration with provider
The following SMS providers are currently available for integration:
- Devino Telecom
- SMS Centre
- SMS Traffic
- SIGMA SMS
To send SMS from enKod, you need to select a suitable provider, sign a contract and receive login details for your personal account. Connection instructions can be found in this section of the manual.
Creating and sending SMS
In order to create an SMS message go to the section Newsletters ➔ Messages ➔ New message and select the SMS channel
Currently, you can create an instant, scheduled, regular SMS or API SMS.
In the creation wizard you can set the following settings:
- Message text
- Link shortener - allows you to track user clicks from SMS message
- UTM tags and URL parameters - similar to email messages
- Tags - for navigation within the enKod platform
You can change the SMS display view for iOS and Android, and by clicking on the SMS preview you can view its display inside the message section on your mobile device
To send a test SMS, click on the corresponding button and enter the phone number to which you want to send the test.
Using dynamic content in SMS
Just like in email messages, you can use DK methods in SMS to personalise content. To do this, select the required tag or function from the list. When you send the message, the generated information will be substituted in the SMS.
Please note that the character count does not take into account the DK functions, as it is not known in advance what information will be substituted after generation.
You can test the DC operation in the preview (button “Test”).
When applying DC methods that use links (for example, changing a data field by click or subscription with a redirect), it is necessary to use link shortening, otherwise the generation of such a message will cause an error.
