SMS Account Set-up

Modified on Tue, 27 Oct at 4:10 PM

For centre administrators.

With SMS Notifications, your staff can send text messages to candidates from Ecordia. Messages are sent through Clickatell, a text messaging service, so your centre needs its own Clickatell account.

SMS Notifications is an add-on subscription. For pricing, or to have it switched on, email support@ecordia.co.uk.

Setting up SMS

  1. Subscribe to SMS Notifications. Ecordia will switch the feature on for your centre.
  2. Create an account with Clickatell. You'll be given these account details:
    • SMS Api Id
    • SMS Username
    • SMS Password
  3. In Ecordia, go to My Centre > Manage and click Modify Centre Info.
  4. Enter the three Clickatell details and save.

Who can send text messages

Only users with the SMSNotification role can open the SMS page and send texts. Add this role to the staff who need it.

To send a text, go to Connect > SMS. See SMS.

Users can choose when they receive SMS alerts in their account preferences.
