(Release Date: March 10, 2026)

Bug Fixes

If there are more than 1000 Leads added as Campaign Members to a Campaign, scheduling an SMS or clicking the Send SMS button from the Campaign creates an outgoing SMS in Salesforce and sends it to the Leads/Campaign Members. Previously, the SMS was not created or sent. (Known Issue: 000004699)
If a Contact related to a Person Account receives an SMS from a Campaign and replies with “STOP,” then the related Account record’s Do Not SMS (Account) field will be checked, preventing additional messages from being sent. Previously, SMS messages could still be sent to the Person Account because the Do Not SMS (Account) field was not checked. (Known Issue: 000004649)
