Select a date and time in the future and rest assured that your message will be sent whether you're at your desk or on the go.
Whenever a message is scheduled to be sent at a later time, whether a single message or bulk SMS, all the messages will appear under the Scheduled Jobs.
Messaging Administration > Configuration Settings > Scheduled Jobs
View Scheduled Messages
The Scheduled Message Job (simplesms__Scheduled_Message_Job__c ) object tracks scheduled messages by storing the data from a bulk SMS and a reference to the job that scheduled it.
Once the SMS message is scheduled, the following fields on the Scheduled Message Job record are filled:
- Campaign Id (simplesms__Campaign_Id__c)
- From Number (simplesms__From_Number__c)
- Job Id (simplesms_Job_Id__c)
- Media Data (simplesms_Media_Data__c)
- Media Display (simplesms__Media_Display__c)
- Recipient List (simplesms_Recipient_List__c)
- Scheduled Date (simplesms__Scheduled_Date__c)
- Template Id (simplesms_Template_Id__c)
- Message (simplesms__Message__c)
The Scheduled Messages Jobs admin view table includes a column with the message related to the scheduled job. The message will be a link that opens a modal containing the message.
