How to get Send SMS from
- "Send SMS from" is the sender's phone number of your SMS notifications.
It may be your phone number or your company phone number, something recognizable when receiving the SMS.
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.
Other Info
- "Agents List (SMS Numbers)" is the field where the phone numbers to notify should be added.
You may enter only your phone number if you're the only receiver, or you may add a list of phone numbers along with names if you'd like to send SMS to different agents. Adding names will be useful to recognize the receiver later, inside the bridge settings.
Please remember that all phone numbers should be written with the +CAT format, as per the example below.

Common questions for SMS Notification
How SMS credits and usage work?
Credit is the name given to the SMS unit used to send messages to agents or leads.
Credits usage may vary based on the destination country to which the SMS is being sent. All carriers included.
- United States: 1 credit for each SMS message
- Rest of the World: 10 credits for each SMS message
Credits will be deducted from the total number of messages sent. Notice that the maximum length for each SMS message is 160 characters, so SMS messages that go beyond this length will be dispatched as multiple SMS message parts.
For example, if you send a 3 part SMS message (480 characters long) to your lead in the United States, this will cost you 3 credits (3 SMS * 1 credit each = 3 credits), while if you send the same SMS message to France, it will cost you 30 credits (3 SMS * 10 credits each = 30 credits).
