Preferences
A User can control some of their prefered behaviour, such as the 'Home' Page they see when they log in, on the Preferences page.
| Field Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
Home Page |
If you'd prefer to have a sequential expanded list of messages select All Messages and that will be the default option after login or after a send. Inbox is the default. |
Conversational Message Threading |
Conversational Message Threading groups all messages within a related thread under a single conversation much like Gmail/Outlook and similar. With this box unchecked, threading will be disabled and all inbound messages regardless of conversation will be shown in your Inbox as well as your sent folder. |
Message Length |
By default Messenger is configured to restrict you to sending one message part (160 char ascii or 70 char if the message contains any special characters). You can increase this limit here. This long message setting will be applied to all your sent messages (email, web and API) to allow longer messages if you require them. While each message part is one SMS and will be billed as such, the recipient will generally receive and see one long message (carrier and handset dependant) and each long message counts as a single message towards any company/system message limits. |
Keep Messages |
This sets the time period after which messages are automatically trashed/deleted. Useful if you want to keep your inbox manageable or are an Email2SMS user only. |
Web and Mobile Source Number |
If you have multiple numbers, alpha tags or reply to mobile numbers assigned to your User you can choose to set a default for all messages sent via the Web or Mobile Application. |
Email/Outlook Source Number |
If you have multiple numbers, alpha tags or reply to mobile numbers assigned to your User you can choose to set a default for all messages sent via Outlook Messaging or Email2SMS. This allows you to set the source on Email2SMS traffic which is not possible over email itself. |
API Source Number |
If you have multiple numbers, alpha tags or reply to mobile numbers assigned to your User you can choose to set a default for all messages sent via the API. |
Notifications |
Decide the type of notification, if any, you want to receive when a new message arrives for you in Messenger |
