Sending to a large list
Iflow can send the same message to a large list in one go. Each send to a list is a job: Iflow queues the messages, sends them to the networks, and tracks each one individually.
Before you send
- Check the cost. The total is the number of recipients multiplied by the number of message parts. One extra character or emoji can double or triple it.
- Check your credit. If the account doesn’t have enough, messages fail with 9106. Accounts can also have a daily budget (9107) or a monthly credit limit (9111). See Credit and billing.
- Send a test to yourself first, from the same sender, to see exactly how it arrives.
How a job runs
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
Queuing | Iflow is queuing the job’s messages |
Queued | The messages are queued and ready to send |
Complete | Every message has been handed to the networks |
Cancelled | The job was cancelled |
A job can show Complete before every message has been delivered: delivery reports, replies and opt-outs keep arriving afterwards. Check each message’s status in Delivery reports.
Duplicates
If the same message goes to the same number twice, the duplicate fails with 9120.
