Turning a text-only SMS campaign into an MMS campaign


NOTE - PDF and video media types are coming soon!


By adding an image, gif, or video to your campaign before launching, your campaign will change from an SMS (text-only) campaign to an MMS campaign. Segments do not apply to MMS messages, so if you plan to send a very long text-only message, you should consider adding a media file!

Add media to your account

Before media can be added to your campaign, you must add it to your Media Library. If your organization hasn't already, register a sample image for your use case. 


Launching a campaign

To get started, create your campaign, but do not launch it. On the "Initial Message" step, click the "Browse Media Library" button:

Select the media content you want to add to your campaign and click "Insert Media" at the bottom of the screen. Your media will appear in the Message Preview. Type your initial message while adding your custom fields, and then click the "Next" button at the bottom of the screen:

Double-check your media file and initial message on the Review page. Once you are ready, click the "Launch" button!

Once launched, your texters can send out your MMS messages!
