SMS Gateway
The SMS Gateway feature enables users to quickly send text messages to communicate with candidates or contacts. You can either send individual or bulk messages. Zoho Recruit supports four vendors to purchase credits to be used for sending these messages.
Note:
- The SMS Gateway feature is available for Professional and Enterprise plans of both the Staffing Agency and Corporate HR editions.
- Only users with the Manage SMS Templates permission can create SMS templates for candidates, contacts and users. The Administrator and Standard profiles have this permission by default. Custom Profiles can be granted this permission by cloning the Administrator or Standard profile.
- An organisation need not be restricted to any one SMS vendor. Members of an organisation can register with any SMS vendor of their choice.
- Contact numbers for candidates and contacts must be stored with their respective country code.
- An SMS message has a maximum of 500 characters.
