PhonePad has a nifty little feature that allows you to send SMS text messages to any of your clients.<\/p>\n
To do this though, you first need to set some things up.\u00a0 We’ll go through that here.<\/p>\n
First things first.<\/p>\n
We don’t have the infrastructure, capacity or resources to be an SMS Gateway provider, so you’ll need to open an account with a 3rd party provider.<\/p>\n
Currently, PhonePad supports SMS Global<\/a> and Clickatel<\/a>.<\/p>\n Once you have your SMS account, you’ll need to set it up in PhonePad.<\/p>\n Next, you need to enable access to the SMS feature.<\/p>\n In the section above we enabled general SMS access to users, but there is one final step to give user access.\u00a0 You have to grant access to each user individually.<\/p>\n You may wonder why we did it this way.<\/p>\n It’s so you can disable or enable SMS access for everyone with a couple of clicks.<\/p>\n But when SMS access is enabled, you may not want all users to have access.\u00a0 That’s why this next step enables or disables access individually for each user.<\/p>\n The user should now be able to send SMS messages.<\/p>\n You can also send SMS messages by selecting a phone message, right-clicking on it, and selecting Send SMS Message from the popup menu.<\/p>\n The caller details will be pre-filled for you.<\/p>\n That’s all you need to do.\u00a0 Once you’ve done all that you’re good to go.<\/p>\n Have fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PhonePad has a nifty little feature that allows you to send SMS text messages to any of your clients.
