PeopleLinx provides its users with the ability to send SMS messages. To start sending SMS, make sure that the Cloud Calls feature is enabled in your PeopleLinx account and you have rented a phone number in Calls section in Settings. There should also be a valid phone number in the contact profile.

6. Opt out instructions (typically "Text STOP to cancel") - not required for single message programs (i.e 2FA)
