## What you configure

- **From** — Sender ID recipients see (e.g. Voicelogica). Manage sender IDs in Telephony settings.
- **To** (required) — Press Enter after each number. Insert variables such as `{{call.phone_number}}`.
- **Message** (required) — Keep it concise — SMS has character limits. Insert variables to personalize.

## First setup

1. Add **Send Text Message** (often after **Missed Call** or **Keyword Detected**).
2. Set **To** and **Message**.
3. **Save & go live**, attach if needed, prove to your own mobile.

## Troubleshooting

**Message is required**

The body is empty. Write the SMS text, then insert variables.
