   1. For each template, assign an event to trigger a message. Available events are order information, payment updates, delivery information, and various internal notifications for the administrator.
   2. Select the shop for which template is to be used
   3. Select after which action the message will be sent in the "Event" tab
   4. Specify the category in which template will work
   5. Then select the language in which template text will be written. Both Russian and English languages are available for selection
   6. Enter the recipient's telephone number in the "Reciepent" field and write the text to be sent in the "Message" field. Text templates are available for the variables listed above the "Message" field

   

   To send messages, make sure that the sender's name is activated. To do this, go to your Messaggio personal account, section "Senders". An ACTIVE status should appear near the name.
