SECTION 2: How to send an SMS from MagManager
Before sending text messages to your clients you will want to check that you have set it up correctly.
- In MagManager go to any client or a test client if you have one.
- Go to the Details tab and change the mobile number for the Primary Contact to your mobile number (make a note of the original one!).
When testing please make sure that the mobile number you are using is NOT associated with any other clients in MagManager and is NOT included in any User / My Details settings. If it is please remove it before testing and replace it afterwords. Or use an alternative mobile number not connected to MagManager. - Press Update.
- The client screen will refresh and your mobile number should be displayed at the top of the screen.
- Click on the mobile phone icon. If you’ve got the configuration steps correct you will see a screen similar to the following:
If you receive an error message you need to go back and check the username and password that you configured in Section 1 – Step 11.
- The Credits value should be 10. This is because you get 10 free credits when you first sign up to Text Marketer. MagManager will always give you a real-time update of how many credits you have left. Once this reaches 0 you will not be able to send texts and you will need to purchase a bundle of texts from Text Marketer.
- Type in your text message in the ‘message’ box. Press Send. You should see a green bar telling you that the text message has been sent successfully.
- Messages normally arrive within seconds and will appear to be from the ‘Reply Number’ that you completed in the earlier configuration steps.
- If everything worked OK – you can now repeat these steps to send text messages to your customers.
