SMS Centre has two types of messages that you can send-

Template

The Template module is creating the main body of the text.

  • After naming a template >Add item>click on Template>choose the language>Type the sms>Save

Data Source


Under the data source tab this is where you will be creating your target audience to send mass messages to. These messages are usually based on the conditions of the target audience e.g. Customers that are late, customers from a specific location.ce:




Name: is the data source

Type of source: Is always Internal

Models: will be bboxx.crm.application

Domain: Will be the target audience

Mobile number field: is where you select the field from the crm.application. in this case you will use the phone.

Language: will be your preferred language 

The number of targets: is how many people will receive your text


Schedule

The schedule determines when the SMS will be sent. At present we are only using a daily schedule for sending an SMS message, therefore you won’t be required to create new schedules in this tab.

Provider


Bboxx uses two main providers being Africa’s Talking and InfoBip, Bboxx mainly uses Africa’s Talking due to it being more cost-effective for the service. You will not be required to create new providers in this tab.
