Staff alerts, not customer campaigns

SMS Notifications sends operational alerts to staff recipients. It is not a customer messaging or marketing tool. The current workflow supports one enabled recipient, an E.164 phone number, consent, and selected event preferences.

  1. Check platform availability

    The page shows whether ToteRentalSuite has launched and enabled the SMS transport. Plan access alone is not enough.

  2. Add the staff recipient

    Use international E.164 format and record the required consent.

  3. Choose events

    Available event choices include New Booking, Payment Received, and Booking Cancelled.

  4. Monitor usage and logs

    The page shows the allowance, usage, delivery state, and safe error information.

SMS requires both Business access and platform transport availability.

Allowance

The default displayed allowance is 500 messages for the configured period. Segments and provider behavior can affect usage; rely on the page’s current counter rather than an old screenshot.
