To start sending using the SMS Enhanced integration, you’ll need to configure your user settings in your Strata Master first. Setup is simple and does not require anyone to exit the database, however it will need to be completed by a user with an access level of Configuration > Write. It will only take a minute before you’re ready to start sending.
The below instructions apply to Strata Master version 12 and above.
Step by Step Configuration
