Creating SMS

SMS is a high-precision customer communication channel. Additional targeting based on geography, interests, etc. allows for achieving maximum effect.

Note

To send SMS via the Yespo system, you first need to register the SMS sender ID or set up SMS processing.

After finishing all the necessary settings, you can create an SMS campaign.

Creating New SMS

Go to Messages → Messages → SMS. Click the New SMS button.

Creating SMS

Main settings

Fill in the following fields:

  1. Name.  The system name that the recipient will not see.

  2. Text. The main content of the SMS.

Name and Text fields

Messages support the use of special graphic symbols — emojis.

Emojis

Note

Some emojis are not supported — mobile operators replace them with question marks or remove the emoji and the text following it.

A list with unsupported emojis will appear if you add at least one of them to the message text.

Unsupported emojis

Note

  • One part of SMS contains 160 characters.
  • If the message contains at least one emoji, the maximum number of characters in one part of the message will decrease to 70.
  • One individual emoji takes up two regular letter characters.
  • Each part of the message is charged as a separate SMS when sent.

The message editor has counters for the characters and message part to help you control the message's length and calculate the campaign's cost.

4. Sender. The alpha name or the sender name will be displayed to your subscribers while receiving messages. Sender name Marketing is set by default. We recommend using your own domain name, as the operator can change the public domain name.
