  2. Select the sender ID from the From (Sender ID) dropdown.
  3. Select the phone field where your record stores the number.
  4. Select a template access level if you're sending a template that has one assigned. If your template isn't assigned to any access level, it defaults to public.
  5. Select the template you want to send, or choose CUSTOM MESSAGE to open a text box below the dropdown where you can type your own message.
  6. Select a channel. Default applies automatically; if your Sender ID is configured for both SMS and WhatsApp, choose your preferred channel instead.
