SMS campaigns let you send text messages to a targeted group of contacts at once. They are ideal for time-sensitive announcements, flash sales, appointment reminders, and event invitations — anything that benefits from the immediacy of a text message.
Steps
- Navigate to Marketing > Campaigns and click Create Campaign.
- Choose SMS as the campaign type.
- Name your campaign and select your target segment.
- Write your message. Keep it concise — SMS messages are limited to 160 characters per segment. Longer messages are sent as multi-part SMS.
- Use merge fields like {{first_name}} to personalize each message.
- Review the estimated cost (based on message count and length).
- Click Send Now or Schedule.
SMS Compliance
DreamFlow includes built-in compliance safeguards:
- Opt-out processing: Contacts who reply STOP are automatically removed from future SMS campaigns.
- Consent tracking: Only contacts with SMS consent flags can be included in campaigns.
- Quiet hours: Messages are not sent between 9 PM and 8 AM in the contact's local timezone.
Important
SMS marketing is regulated. Ensure you have explicit consent before sending marketing messages. DreamFlow enforces opt-out compliance, but initial consent is your responsibility.
