Transactional vs Promotional SMS

Note: All SMS templates must be approved on the DLT platform.

 

Transactional SMS

These are SMS messages you send to leads to inform them about details necessary to use your products/services. For example –

  • A message sent by a college to a student about a joining date.
  • A message sent to a lead as confirmation of their online submission.
  • A message sent to a caller acknowledging their call to your sales/support number.

Examples of Transactional SMS Templates:

  • Your order no %d% has been shipped. You will receive this order by %s%. Thanks for using our services.
  • Thanks for your interest in our product. Your enquiry number is %s%.
  • Thank you signing up for LeadSquared. We will contact you shortly.

Note:

  • %s% is used to substitute the text which is unique to your contact/prospect.
  • To send SMS within Indian territory, refer to TRAI Notification.
