Creating SMS Groups

 
     

While you can always manually select the names of each agent to which you wish to send your mobile broadcast message, it's often more effective to organize your agents into contact groups. This allows you to save time when sending your mobile broadcasts and helps you narrow your message to exactly the intended audience all at the same time. To create SMS broadcast groups...

  1. From your XSite's mobile broadcast tools, click Broadcast Groups in the Mobile Broadcast pane on the left.
  2. In the screen that appears, click Create a New Group.
  3. Type a name for your new SMS group into the Group Name box.
  4. Select the desired type of contacts from the option list. You can include contacts from all types in your group if desired. Options include:
    • Users - If you've added the contact into your XSite's User Manager, you can quickly find them through this list.
    • Groups - If you've already created contact groups in your XSite's contact manager, you can select contacts by group instead of by name.
    • Contacts - If you have the contact in your XSite's address book, you can find it in this list.
  5. Now, add the desired contacts to the group.
    • To add a contact select it from the left column and click the green arrow.
    • To remove a contact select it from the right column and click the blue arrow.
  6. When finished, click OK to save your new SMS contact group.
