||| You can have a maximum of 160 characters for your message. If your message contains more than 160 character then it will send 2 text messages instead of 1

**You can setup a message template instead of writing down your message manually on 'Message content'.**

A message template is a pre-written text. You can personalize your message templates by adding name fields and/or custom fields if the first name and last name has been filled in on your imported CSV file on your SMS integration. But you don't have to upload a CSV. If you just manually add the personal details then that will also work.

You can also use the message template for just 1 sms if you send it out to 1 receiver.

It can look like this:

Hi [FIRSTNAME] [LASTNAME],

Here is your free coupon of today:
[DO-NOT-REMOVE-THIS-UNIQUE-COUPON-CODE-GENERATOR] <- this is going to be the coupon link that will be sent to them.

When the text message has been sent out, then it will look like this:

Hi John Doe,

Here is your free coupon of today:
https://digicpn.com/p/abc123
