Seamless SMS Sending: Your MarketOmation® Playbook
MarketOmation® makes sending SMS messages incredibly straightforward, giving you multiple options depending on how you prefer to manage your communications. Here’s how you can do it:
Method 1: Starting a Brand New Conversation
This is perfect for initiating a fresh text exchange with a contact. Simply navigate to the Conversations section in your MarketOmation® dashboard and select All. In the top right corner, you’ll see a New Message button – click it! From there, you can search for the contact you wish to message. If they have a phone number saved in their profile, you’ll be given the option to select SMS as your communication channel. Type out your message, hit Send, and your personalized text is on its way!
Pro Tip: If a contact has multiple phone numbers (e.g., mobile, home, work), MarketOmation® will smartly offer you options so you can choose the most appropriate number for your message.
Method 2: Continuing an Ongoing Chat
For existing relationships, continuing a conversation via SMS is even easier. Head back to Conversations > All, and simply click on the existing chat thread you want to continue. The beauty of MarketOmation® is its intelligent system: the platform automatically remembers the last channel used for that conversation. So, if your last interaction was an SMS, your new message will automatically be sent via text. Just type, click Send, and keep the conversation flowing.
Method 3: Directly from a Contact’s Profile
Sometimes, you might be working directly within a contact’s profile and realize you need to send them an SMS. MarketOmation® has you covered! Go to Contacts > Contacts, search for and click on the specific contact you want to reach. Within their profile, locate the conversation section. You’ll find a New Message option there. Select SMS, compose your message, and hit Send. It’s that simple to maintain a personal touch with every customer.
Important Notes for Your SMS Campaigns
To ensure your SMS messages are always delivered successfully and your communication strategy runs smoothly, keep these key points in mind:
-
Phone Numbers are Key: Only contacts with a valid phone number saved in their MarketOmation® profile can receive SMS messages. Make sure your contact data is up-to-date!
-
Replies Come Home: All replies to your SMS messages will be conveniently routed back to your Conversations section in MarketOmation®. This keeps all your customer interactions organized in one central place, making follow-ups a breeze.
-
Active Phone Line Needed: Before sending SMS, ensure you have an active phone number connected to your MarketOmation® account. This is your digital lifeline for two-way text communication.
-
SMS Icon Check: If you find the SMS icon grayed out when trying to send a message, it usually means one of two things: either the contact doesn’t have a phone number in their profile, or SMS messaging isn’t enabled for that particular conversation or contact. A quick check of their profile or your account settings can resolve this.
