After you created a message and selected a destination contact group you're ready to send it using the details window.
Sending the messages
Just tap the Send button and select the Manual mode. This will allow you to send messages one-by-one and stop at any time.
- For every contact the app will display the Messages window with the recipient and the final message pre-filled for you
- If you added photos/videos to your template the files will also be attached to your message
- You tap the Send button and the message is sent to the recipient
- If you tap Cancel the message will not be sent and the app will ask you if you want to continue or not
When all the messages are sent, the status will change to Finished and the progress will indicate 100%.
The "Send Queue"
This queue will preview all the messages that were generated based on your template & group selection. Please note that the placeholders will be replaced with actual values. These are the final messages that will be sent via Messages app.
You can toggle ON/OFF individual messages without updating the source group. The status label will indicate Ready or Skip.
You can see additional SendQueue options by long pressing the queue list.
- Select all (will select all contacts)
- Deselect all (will deselect all contacts)
- Search for contact (will automatically scroll to the contact you're searching for)
- Scroll to next message (will automatically scroll to the next message scheduled for sending)
Additional information
- When all the messages are sent the message status will change to Finished and the progress will indicate 100%.
- When a message is marked as Finished, Canceled or Error you cannot restart the sending process. If you want to use the same message and/or group we suggest you duplicate this message as described here and restart the full process.
- You can only edit the message content and destination group while the status still shows New.
