In the task bar you will see a new option to “Bulk SMS”, this then works in the same manor as sending an individual text but you can select from the list which clients are to receive the text.
For clients that are not currently using this system and would like to do so just let us know and we will switch your account on, text cost 5p + VAT to send and credit can be bought in batches of ÂŁ5 + VAT or more.

You must use the codes that can be seen at the bottom of the spreadsheet and use the quote source ID which is a number. Free typing in this column will NOT work.
2. Diary
We have added a new column when looking at the clients listing screen which is now the end column called “Diary”. This makes it easier to identify if a client has an active diary entry waiting to be actioned.
