Differences between bulk SMS through the popup and a bulk SMS campaign

Sending bulk SMS through the send SMS popup is slightly different to an SMS campaign:

There is no campaign report, however you can see SMS that have been sent and delivered on the contact activity feed like you would for any other SMS

Unless you view the contacts first on the contacts screen, you can't exclude recipients

There is a maximum of 100 SMS recipients per SMS and we recommend using it for targeted communications only (bulk SMS campaigns do not have a limit)

Bulk SMS sent through the send SMS popup are subject to contact subscriber settings just the same as a normal bulk SMS campaign. (Subscriber settings do not apply for normal SMS sent through the send SMS popup)
