Send a Text Message from the Dispatch Board

From the Dispatch Board, you can send text messages to your resources or clients. You do not need to have a Pro Plus or Two-Way Texting subscription to do this, just the cell phone number and provider of the person you want to message. Replies to a text message will go to your company email address and will not be visible in Service Autopilot.  

Use the following steps:

  1. On the Dispatch Board, hover over the More dropdown list.
  2. Click Send Text.

  4. The Cell Phone Number and Cell Provider will be filled in when you select a Resource if that information is already on the Employee or Vendor record. If it is not on the Employee or Vendor record, enter it in the dialog.
  5. Enter a message.
  6. Click Send Text.
