Testing SMS campaigns

Testing SMS campaigns

Testing is an essential part of sending any email or SMS campaign. For this reason, we've made testing a required step for any campaign, including the SMS type.

Before you begin

All administrators involved with creating, testing, and sending SMS campaigns need to do the following:
  1. Opt-in to your SMS program keyword. This can be done from each individual's mobile device or all admin information can be imported via CSV.
  2. Update user profile in Delivra to include mobile number. To do this, click on the User icon (top-right of page) and select My Settings.

Checkout our SMS Quickstart video library.

How-To

  1. Navigate to the Campaigns Dashboard. If you already have a draft SMS campaign you can simply hover over it and choose "Test" from the drop-down. Otherwise, choose the "Create Campaign" button at the top-left of the page and select "SMS" as the campaign type, and follow the workflow until you get to the Test step. 
  2. Choose your admin record (and any other admins you want to test the message to) from the drop-down.
  3. Click Send Test or Test and Next.
