SMS Broadcast Settings ​

The Settings tab for an SMS broadcast covers the metadata that controls how and when the broadcast is sent. SMS broadcasts have far fewer settings than email — there's no Subject, Preheader, or From-name (those are mail-only).

Campaign Name ​

Internal-only. Shown in the Broadcasts list and reporting; never delivered to recipients.

From Number ​

The phone number recipients see the message coming from. Leave blank to use your organization's default number. If your org has multiple registered numbers, pick one per broadcast.

WARNING

Compliance: opt-in is required. SMS recipients must have explicitly opted in to receive messages from your organization. Sending SMS to non-opted-in numbers violates carrier rules and CAN-SPAM/TCPA regulations and can get your sending number blocked.

Scheduling ​

  • Send now — pushes to the queue immediately on send.
  • Schedule — pick a date + time. The broadcast moves to Scheduled status and ships at that exact time.

Some carriers throttle bulk sends; very large SMS broadcasts may take several minutes to fully drain the queue even after sending starts.

Internal notes ​

Free-form notes for your team. Never delivered to recipients.
