Tutorial – Sending an EMail2SMS to a Group from Outlook

Many SMS Suppliers have an EMail2SMS feature. Generally they allow users to send to an individual number at a time. We have brought this a step further by allowing customers to send an email to a group in their Sendmode account. This tutorial shows how to do this in a few easy steps. It takes less than 2 minutes to setup.

Awesome for sending a quick message out to staff, parents or club members without the need to open browsers or login ( your email address is already authenticated on the site ).

In your Sendmode Account

  1. In your Sendmode account open settings and click on Email To SMs / Reminder SMS tab.
