Templated Preset Text Messages

Within each campaign there are templated text messages to preselected groups of users, containing key information or instructions, which are helpful to send before, during, and after events.

Send a templated text

From the Admin Navigation, click Communications > Text
Select + New Text
Click the dropdown arrow in the Template field.
Select your preferred message from the dropdown.
Click Apply.
Send immediately, Save as Draft or Schedule to be sent automatically at a later date.

Important to Note: Once sent, the message sender (Admin or Volunteer) receives an additional text to the mobile number on file to confirm the message sent successfully to the number of users.

Text messages can only contain links directing users to a GiveSmart campaign. External links are not able to be sent from the GiveSmart platform.
