About SMS messages about-sms-messages
Adobe Campaign allows you to deliver SMS (Short Message Service) messages.
For SMS messages, you can create, modify, and personalize messages in text format only. You can also preview your SMS messages before they are sent.
The length of an SMS message is restricted to 160 characters if it is in GSM encoding and only 70 characters if it is in Unicode. However, certain special characters can influence the length of the message. For more on this, refer to the SMS encoding section.
SMS messages can be created from the Marketing activities menu, from a campaign, or in a workflow, see Creating an SMS message.
To deliver SMS messages to a mobile telephone you need:
- A Routing external account configured on the Mobile (SMS) channel with the Bulk delivery mode. For more on this, refer to the Routing section.
- A delivery template that is correctly linked to this external account.
