Getting started with SMS messages

Why use SMS in your campaigns?

Anchor link to

SMS is a powerful channel that allows you to reach customers effectively, especially when other messaging options are unavailable. With SMS, you can:

  • Contact customers who are not reachable via other channels. If a customer is not subscribed to push or email notifications, you can send an SMS instead.
  • Send transactional notifications, like order statuses, payment alerts, and security codes.
  • Send marketing offers. For customers who have agreed to receive promotional SMS, this channel can be even more effective than push notifications and emails.

Like push notifications, each SMS can be personalized by using Dynamic Content.
