What content can I edit in a broadcast text?

Drafting Your Message

In the message section, enter your message in the left text box. Add emojis, liquid merge tags, attachments (see step 2 below) and bold and italic (unicode) as needed

• Using the Bold, Italics, Emojis, or Attachments will automatically qualify your text as MMS vs. SMS
• Use of merge tags may or may not qualify your message to be sent as MMS vs. SMS depending on the number of characters the content in the merge tag requires. We do include a character count at the bottom of the message builder to view your minimum characters. 

Step 1: Preview your message on the right side. Choose to see the preview as an iPhone or an Android device. Select a person from your audience to preview your message as.

Step 2: To add an attachment select the appropriate attachment icon. Files should be no larger than 750KB to optimize sending (carriers prefer under 750KB). With attachments you will need to send your message as MMS vs. SMS. 

• Use the image icon to upload standard images (.png, .jpg) 
• Use the GIF icon to upload .gif files 
• Use the video icon to upload a video file (.mp4)
• Use the audio icon to upload an audio file (.mp3)
• Use the vCard icon to upload a vCard (a file format standard for sharing contact information electronically) 

Step 3: Once the image is uploaded, preview the image and text in the preview section. To send a proof to yourself, click Send Proofs above the preview section.

Step 4: Choose a recipient for the proof from your team or enter a specific number.

Step 5: Preview your message for a randomly selected person in your audience or a specific recipient.

Step 6: Once satisfied with your message, click Next to review your broadcast text summary in the next step.
