Must know
  • Available on plans that include SMS — if you don’t see it, ask your Uplifter contact.
  • Unlike scheduled email, a scheduled SMS campaign sends automatically once its time passes.
  • Your usage allowance is checked once up front for the whole batch, and consent is applied when the recipient list is built.
Open Communication → SMS Campaigns and click New Campaign. The three-step wizard mirrors email.
1

Audience

Choose a Send To target — the options match email (Everyone, Staff, Guardians, a Program, and so on). A recipient count appears, already filtered to people who’ve consented and not opted out.
2

Compose

Write the message. Insert merge variables to personalize it, and watch the live character and segment counts as you type — a long text spans more than one segment.
3

Send

Here you’ll see the message previewed with example data. Review the recipient count, then click the Send to N recipients card to text everyone now, or use Schedule for Later to pick a date and time in your club’s timezone. A scheduled SMS campaign goes out on its own when the time arrives.
Two timing notes worth understanding: the platform checks your SMS allowance for the entire batch at the moment you send, so a campaign either clears the check and sends to everyone or is stopped up front. And consent is evaluated when the recipient list is assembled — not re-checked at the instant each text goes out — so build and send close together for the most accurate list.
