BRD 2.5 Create SMS Campaña, stage 2 of 4, Audience

Stage 2 does two jobs on one page: it picks the recipients and it composes the message.

Seleccione the contact list​

  1. Open the Seleccione Lista de contactos dropdown, placeholder Seleccione a contact list.
  2. Elija a list. Every option shows its size in the form Test_1 (6 contacts), so you can confirm the audience before you commit to it. Helper text reads "Elija which contact list to target".

Selecting a contact list is what unlocks the rest of the stage. Until a list is chosen, the whole Compose Message block below, both of its tabs and every control inside it, is dimmed and will not respond to a click. There is no on-screen message explaining this. If the composer appears frozen, you have not selected a contact list yet.

Check the contact count before you go further. Several lists on a typical tenant show (0 contacts). A campaign built on an empty list completes the wizard and sends it to nobody.

Compose the message​

The composer has two tabs, Compose Message and Elija Template. Compose Message is active by default.

On the Compose Message tab:

ControlWhat it does
Message ContentThe message body. Text area, placeholder Ingrese su SMS message.
Insert PlaceholderOpens a Placeholders panel offering four merge fields. See the table below.
UnicodeOn/off switch that changes the character budget per message fragment. See the note below.
Character counterLive, below the message body. Reads Fragments, Total characters, and characters remaining, for example 160 characters left (GSM).

Placeholders - Selecting Insert Placeholder opens a panel headed Placeholders with four entries. Selecting one inserts its token into the message body.

EntryToken inserted
First Nombre{First Nombre}
Last Nombre{Last Nombre}
Email{Email}
Teléfono Números{Teléfono Números}

On the Elija Template tab:

  1. Seleccione Elija Template.
  2. Use Buscar by name to find a template.
  3. Seleccione a template to load it into the message body. The tab's own instruction reads "Seleccione a template to use for your message. You can customize it after selection."

Preview the message​

The right of the page holds a Preview panel.

  1. Elija the handset to preview on from the device dropdown. The options are Iphone and Android.
  2. Seleccione Generate Preview.

The preview renders the message as it will appear in a conversation, with a sender number, a date heading and the message body.

Generate Preview also validates your placeholders. If a placeholder in your message cannot be resolved against the selected contact list, the preview reports "These fields are missing" and lists the offending tokens, for example {First Nombre}, with a Close control. Treat this as a blocking warning: those recipients will receive the raw token instead of a value. Either populate the field on the contact list or remove the placeholder.

  1. Seleccione Next Step to move to Schedule, or Volver to return to Campaña Details.
