Quick Messages

In this article, you will learn how to send Quick Messages in the Apifon platform.

Here are some things to know before you begin with Quick Messages:

Available channels are SMS & Viber.
You can quickly send messages without creating a list.
You can send isolated messages to up to 10 recipients. This is not considered a bulk shipment, so there are no available statistics, only reports per message.

To send an SMS Quick Message, follow these steps:

Click Quick Message on the top menu and select the SMS channel.
Select New Message.
Type the Sender ID (up to 11 Latin alphanumeric characters).
Enter the recipients. Manually type up to 10 recipients, with the country prefix before each number (e.g. 3069...). To type a new number, first, click Enter.
If you want to keep your conversation private from other users, activate Private Conversation.
Insert the text of the message. You can manually type it, or select a Template.
Click the blue arrow to Send directly, or click Schedule to select the date and time you want to send the message.
