How to set up your bridge step-by-step tutorial
Before you start
Step 1: Bridge's Main information

Step 3: Setup your Welcome SMS destination

- Send SMS from is the sender's phone number of your Welcome SMS.
You may even enter a text as the SMS sender, like your name or your company name (for example: ACME Company); obviously, leads will not be able to reply to you.
We suggest using your phone number, or a designated one so your leads can reply and get in touch with your company after receiving the SMS.
The phone should be written with the +CAT format, as per the example below.
DISCLAIMER: If the receiver number is from the US or Canada, the sender's phone number will not be visible in accordance with their national legislation. - Click on the Next button

Underneath there's a box where you may add the information you'd like to send.
