Templates#
Templates are a way for standard content to be laid out for specific actions/circumstances. You can create SMS Message templates that will be used only within the SMS Messaging module.
Replacement tokens can be added to the templates from a list of available tokens. These values will be replaced when the message is generated and allow you to insert information such as the users forename.

Some templates come pre-defined with default values, they are messages that we think you will find useful. See Pre-Defined Templates.
