IMPORTANT - 22 July 2025 Call Support if you need to sign up to Text Marketer, they have recently been taken over by Esendex and new sign ups are being routed through that brand rather than Text Marketer. They now have to manually create the account so please send the following details to support@magmanager.co.uk which will be passed onto Text Marketer for them to set up your account:
Name, Business Name, Email & Mobile Number
You will then receive your login details directly from Text Marketer via text.
You will also need to let Text Marketer know that you are using MagManager as they have updated the API Config interface - once they have been informed they can change this to the previous view.y
MagManager allows you to send and receive SMS text messages directly from within the system. There are a few steps that you need to perform in order to enable this function. These are outlined in this document.
MagManager have chosen to integrate with ‘Text Marketer’ (www.textmarketer.co.uk) in order to provide the link between MagManager and the 3G/4G mobile phone network. You will need to set up an account for your company with ‘Text Marketer’ and purchase a bundle of text messages in order to send messages (you will get 10 free messages when you sign up).
If you would like to receive SMS text message replies back into MagManager you will also need to subscribe to a ‘txtUs’ mobile number.
SECTION 1: Setting up MagManager to send SMS messages
Once you have completed this process you will be able to send text messages to your customers directly from within MagManager.
- Visit http://www.textmarketer.co.uk - SEE IMPORTANT NOTES ABOVE & CONTACT MAGMANAGER SUPPORT
- Click the ‘Sign Up’ link at the top right of the screen.
- Complete the details. Make sure your mobile number is entered correctly and that you have it with you because Text Marketer will send verification links to this number.
- Once you have signed up, Text Marketer will immediately send you a verification code to your phone. Enter the code into the Text Marketer website.
- Once verified you will receive another text message containing a link, as well as a username and password.
- Click the link – or go to http://messagebox.textmarketer.co.uk
- Enter the username and password that you received in the text message. Then press login.
- You should now see the following screen:
9. Hover your cursor above the icon circled in the screenshot above, this will then show a drop-down menu shown below. Click on ‘Account Settings’ as circled below.
10. Your account details will now be displayed. You now need to click the ‘API Config’ tab circled below:
11. You should now see a screen that has ‘API Gateway Username and Password’ with a Username and Password displayed, as shown (blanked out) in the below screenshot. THESE VALUES ARE VERY IMPORTANT. Make a note of both the Username and Password (NOTE: these values are different to the details you used to login to Text Marketer). NOTE ABOVE to contact Text Marketer to get the API Config back to the previous version.
12. In another window login to MagManager.
13. Go to settings by pressing the cog in the top right menu bar.
14. Click on the ‘System Defaults’ section. This screen has a section for your SMS Settings:
15. Fill in the Username and Password that you noted in Step 11 – the VERY IMPORTANT ones!
16. If you only want to send text messages and don’t intend to receive replies, then you can put the name of your company, or a shortened version, in the ‘Reply Number’ field. This field cannot contain spaces and must be no longer than 11 characters. If you do wish to receive text messages into MagManager you will need this field later, but for now just type in the name of your company (with no spaces). Whatever value you choose here will appear as the ‘From’ when you send a text message from MagManager.
17. Press ‘Update’ and return back to MagManager.
18. You should now be setup to send text messages.
