Agent SMS Campaign

  • Users can add instructions for agents by editing/creating Agent Task SMS campaigns.
  • Agent Task campaigns will obey SMS opt-in status like automated SMS. Users can choose to bypass the optin (task will be created regardless of opt-in status.)
  • Instructions for agents can be added in the input form, with the ability to add dynamic attributes using {{contact.XXX}}.
