- [Narrator] Hello and welcome to our video on
using our simple SMS send feature
within our web application.
I'm Peter Humphries, CEO of Intelli Messaging.
You can see our SMS homepage in front of you.
At the top it shows how many credits
we have in our SMS account,
and provides you some fields immediately
where you can complete information
and simply push the Send Message button.
The Country field at the top defines the validation,
the country of validation to use for your number.
And we can give that a demonstration too.
So, I can enter in a mobile number
in slightly unusual format,
and given that this really doesn't match
any mobile number for Australia, we get an
Enter a Valid Number field response.
And we can try that again.
And we will see that, even though we've entered
401 to start with, the system has determined that
this is an Australian number, added the 61 in front,
and let the number in for us.
Very handy.
We simply type in a message.
"This is a test message."
We can choose to pick one of our source addresses
to send the message from, or select none,
which case it will look for a source address
set against the send direct in the system,
which there is none also,
in which case the system will now
select a source address for us from a
Intelli Intelligent Source Routing reply form.
I'm actually going to send this using one of
my allocated source addresses,
and I'm going to send the message,
and the message has now been sent.
So that explains the most simple way to send a message.
I can also cut and past a list into the To field
from either a text file or from an xl file,
or a CSV file.
We have a text file here.
Note in this file, we have a number of different lines
with text, with wrong numbers, with text and numbers,
with different prefixes on numbers.
And our To field is going to validate all of this
and clean out all the stuff that we don't want in there
and leave the valid numbers for us,
which we will now show you.
Let me simply copy that, and then we paste it to here,
and when we tab out of that field,
you'll now see that that number list is
completely clean for us.
And here we would simply send a message,
and this time I, no, I don't want that.
No, I'm not actually gonna send a message
because this is really a demonstration
of cleaning the numbers.
We will send a message in the next demonstration,
which is, and we're just gonna delete these now.
We are going to select some contacts,
so we simply hit this link and scroll down the page.
So now we can search for and select contacts to be
added to our To field above.
We search through all our contacts,
we can either choose to select a filter to search by.
So, in that previous when we created a filter,
we created a filter called business,
so I can add just these two by selecting all,
or I can add my whole contact list,
which I am going to do.
And we're also gonna write a particular message
that includes some contact tokens.
So, we are including a token.
This token will be replaced with
the first name of the contact.
And we are going to send this list.
And so, when we send a message or create a message,
we can put any contact field token into the message,
first name, last name, field one, field two, field three.
We can talk a little bit more about
those additional fields in another video.
We'll just have a look at these messages that we have sent,
so if we go to Reports, we go to Messaging,
run our messages for the day.
So now you can see the messages that we've sent.
You can see that the first name has been
replaced with the token that we stuck into the message.
That completes the video on
using our Simple Send feature.
Please visit the website.
You can then see more videos on
using our campaign system and our input and send system.
Thank you very much.
