Create an event code

Create an event code so that you can target users outside your organization with SMS alerts.
  1. Click The Settings icon.
  2. In the Users section, click SMS Opt-In.
  3. On the SMS Opt-In screen, click Manage Event Codes.
  4. On the Manage Event Codes page that opens in a new tab on your browser, click New.
  5. On the Create New Event code window, enter an event code name. Spaces and the following characters are not allowed: `!$%&^()={},;\:?"<>|\
  6. In the Event Code field, enter an event code. This is the code that you will provide to your end users. They send this event code in an SMS to subscribe to alerts.
  7. Optionally, in the Expiration field, select a date for the event code to expire. When an event code expires, users can no longer use the event code.
  8. Click Save.
When you promote your event code, include the following text: Text [event-code] to [sms-number]. If you do not know the SMS number, see SMS numbers for U.S. hosted systems and SMS numbers for European hosted systems.
