</a

Replace both instances of sending_number (in bold) above with your SMS sending number.

• The first instance of your sending number should include the country code (e.g., 1 for the US,+92 for Pakistan etc) followed by the 10 digits of your SMS sending number, with no dashes, spaces, or parentheses: 16171110000
• The second instance of your sending number may include formatting characters: (617) 111-0000

• Save this bloc.

Send your email to your email-only subscribers using a campaign, or add the message to your email welcome flow or thank you flow or any other highly engaged flow like abandon checkout, abandon cart, browse abandon flow, next purchase date flow, birthday flow, VIP welcome flow.
