We are excited to introduce an enhancement to the Bulk SMS feature that allows users to select the "From" phone number when sending SMS messages. This feature provides flexibility in choosing which phone number the SMS will be sent from, offering better control and visibility, especially for accounts with multiple assigned numbers.

What's New?

  • Phone Number Selection for SMS Sending: Users can now select the "From" phone number in the SMS modal from a dropdown list. The dropdown will display all available phone numbers associated with the account, making it easier to choose the correct number for SMS communication.

  • Default Phone Number Fallback: If no phone number is selected, the system will automatically use the default phone number to send the SMS, ensuring no interruption in the sending process.

How to Use:

  1. Go to Contacts, Select Multiple Contacts and click on "Bulk SMS"
