SMS Set Up
Halo is compatible with select third party email-to-SMS services which allows Halo to send emails to the SMS provider. To set this up, please see the below:
1) Go in to Configuration>Email and scroll down to SMS Settings
2) Here you will need to fill in the domain of your SMS provider (For example Text Local, Capal, or any 3rd Party SMS provider)
The Password/PIN will be used in a different way, depending on the provider selected. In all cases, however, the password is sent along with each Email to SMS request to the provider, who then uses that password to ensure you do in fact belong to the correct company. This password should be known and set up via the provider's console.
The display name for the email will be what you want to display.
3) After this configuration has been set up, you can configure the SMS email template which shows up just under the normal email templates once you have an SMS provider configured:
- When the Show SMS fields setting is enabled, you can then add this to any action so that the 'enter a phone number' option appears.
You can add this option to any action in Config>Tickets>Actions, chosen action and ticking the following box:
