SMS Text Notifications
- Michelle Cabaya
Requires X Dispatch 21.0 or newer.
Additional fees will be applied. See here for pricing.
SMS text notifications can be sent for status events for on demand orders and route stops.
These notifications can be set per customer, order, or stop. Recipients will receive a notification of the selected status event.
If the recipient replies “STOP” it will stop all future update notifications, not just notifications for a specific order or stop. Replying “unstop” will enable notifications to be sent to the recipient's phone number.
How to Enable SMS Text Notifications
Click Options in the toolbar and select the Misc tab.
