Recipient Populated

Prepopulate a recipient for easy responses. This is great for SMS opt-in and works for iOS and Android.

How it works:

In the URL add, "sms:123456789."

Anything you put after the ":" will appear as the recipient.

Example: 'sms:5551234' will show 5551234 in the recipient field. 

Message Populated

Create prepopulated text messages for your members to share. This is great for big invite events and works for iOS and Android.

How it works:

  • Start the same way as the previous code, with "sms:"
  • After the phone, add "?&body=Message Body Here.". Replace 'Message Body Here' with your desired text and they will show up as a prepopulated message.
    • If you don't wish to add a prepopulated recipient, add the code after the ":"

Example: sms:5551234?&body=First time guest

Note: There are some symbols that will cut the code off such as apostrophes, quotations, and semicolons. If you're noticing certain texts are cutting off, check if it is cutting off at a word with a symbol.
