SMS templates

Write the text messages the side panel offers, with fields that fill in for each carrier.

Open SMS templates from the menu on the left. These are the messages the side panel offers when you text a carrier.

The SMS templates page: two templates shared with the workspace, each with its message and merge fields, and the form to write a new one (sample data).

Write one

Give it a name and write the message. Merge fields fill in for each carrier: {{carrier_name}}, {{carrier_city}}, {{carrier_state}}, {{my_first_name}} and {{agency_name}}. Add a fallback after a bar, as in {{my_first_name|there}}, for when a value is missing.

Shared or yours

A Manager’s template is shared with the workspace unless they untick Share with the workspace. Anyone else’s is theirs alone.

In the side panel

The panel picks one of your templates at random for each carrier and keeps it until you choose another. Choose which ones are in use, and their order, in the panel’s Settings. See The side panel: Settings.
