Sending an Automatic SMS

Once you have setup Automated SMSs, you don't have to do anything to send the messages. It is all done in the background automatically. See "Setting up the SMS System" for details on how to setup Automatic SMS.

Once a message has sent, your credits will go down by how many credits were used to send the SMS. Please note that 1 credit is required for each 160 characters in the SMS. If you go over 160 characters by for example 1 character, you will be charged 2 credits.

You can view how many SMS credits you have remaining at the top of any page in Pet Manager. If you want more details on how many credits a particular SMS used you will need to look at the SMS log which is available as a tab on the bookings and customer screens. See the "SMS Log" section of this documentation for more information.
