    • Images should be linked from your website, using the fully qualified path. For example, src=”http://mysite.com/images/image1.jpg”
    If you choose to host your site with us, we can carry this out for you.

    If you want total control over the display for text only clients, include alternate text at the end of the HTML, like this:

  • How many custom fields are possible for an SMS message?

    • SMS texting works in exactly the same way as email above although you only have a choice of $customername, $date, $customfield1 and $customfield2.
    To use all of these fields would mean that you would need to upload a 6 column CSV file into your admin section along with a suitable SMS message with the variables in in the SMS set out as above.
