• Name – This is the name of the campaign that you can use to reference it with on the system.
• List – This is a drop-box that contains all of the lists that you have saved on your account. Select the list that you wish to send to here.
• Contact – This is a drop-box that contains all the contacts in your selected list. If you select All Contacts the message will be sent to everyone in the list. Alternatively you can select an individual contact from this drop-box to send just to them.
• From – This is a custom number that you can select as the source number for the SMS. This can be anything you need it to be. Please bear in mind however that not all networks support this. If the destination network does not, then the number will be a randomly generated one.
