2. Select the Settings tab.
3. Find where it says Email to SMS, and click on Update.
Now you can configure your email signature and disclaimer.
Set a Message Limit
This is the number of message parts before we truncate the message content:
-
1 = 160 characters
-
2 = 306 characters
- 3 = 459 characters (blocks of 153 characters for multipart messages)
1. To change the message limit, click Edit:
2. Then set your desired Message limit.
3. Now click Ok to save your changes:
SMS End Tags
SMS end tags are a cleaner way to truncate your Email to SMS message where you can set the cut-off point. The default end tags are {end sms} and {end}, and you can also create your own custom tags.
1. To create your own custom tags, click Edit:
2. Then in the text area, type your custom tag - for example, if you end your emails with "Regards, John Smith" you could use the keyword Smith so your message will end with "Regards, John".
3. Then click Ok to save your changes:
| Note - neither the keyword nor any subsequent characters will be submitted in the message content. |
