How does it work?

Just 3 simple steps:

1. Compose the message
2. Pick the recipients
3. Send the message

Use of message templates:
You can save messages into templates so that they can be used over and over again therefore saving you the precious time and effort.
The message templates can contain user fields, which allow you to compose messages with a personal touch.

For example,
Composed message:
"Hi [name], Good news, you have won $[amt] voucher ..."

Delivered messages:
"Hi Henry Ford, Good news, you have won $200 voucher..."

Selection criteria:
The system allows you to set your own criteria for picking a list of target recipients, for instance by

• age
• gender
• bonus points
• membership expiry
• payment due
• appointment date
• membership grade
• category
• date of birth
• etc

For example, you could specify to send SMS message only to those who are between 20 to 30 years of age, and who are female, and whose bonus points are greater than 500.
