When SMS service has been configured, follow these steps to send SMS messages.

Preparing for SMS Messaging

Once you have outbound SMS configured, you can make SMS messaging easier for users by completing a bit of extra setup:

• Set up SMS templates with record variables and preset recipients so that users can simply select the template to send a message.
• Add the New SMS option to the Action Bars for the relevant tables.

Sending SMS Messages

1. In the table view, select the records or recipients, depending on which table you need to send from.
2. In the action bar, select the SMS icon and click Send SMS.
3. Select a recipient in the To field.
4. Select the outbound mail sender in the From drop-down.
5. Compose the message:
   • Enter text in the Content input box.
