SMS Broadcast Overview (Sent) ​

The Overview tab appears once an SMS broadcast has been sent. SMS engagement metrics are narrower than email — opens are not measurable on SMS, since there's no equivalent of an email tracking pixel.

Stat tiles ​

  • Sent — broadcasts handed to the upstream SMS provider
  • Delivered — accepted by the recipient's carrier and confirmed delivered
  • Failed — the carrier rejected the message (invalid number, blocked, opted out, etc.)
  • Clicks — recipients who clicked a tracked link inside the message (only if the body contained a tracked URL)

TIP

Opens are not tracked on SMS. There's no carrier-level mechanism for it. Use click-through on a tracked link as your engagement signal.

Campaign Details ​

Read-only snapshot of what was sent: Campaign Name, From Number, total Recipients. This is locked at send time.

Timeline ​

When the broadcast was created, scheduled (if applicable), and sent.

Failure reasons ​

Common failure reasons surfaced from the carrier:

  • Invalid number — number is not a real mobile phone or has been disconnected
  • Opted out — recipient previously replied STOP and is permanently blocked from receiving SMS from your sender
  • Carrier blocked — the carrier rejected the message (usually for spam/abuse signals)
  • Region not supported — your sending number is not registered to deliver to the recipient's country

For per-contact failure detail, see SMS Delivery Status.
