The SMS node is used to trigger an SMS. SMSs can be sent to a static list of recipients, or to a dynamic distribution list. Both the subject line and content of the SMS can be either static or dynamic text.
SMS Properties
Display Name
The default display name of the for loop node is SMS 1. Any subsequent for loop nodes are named according to this naming convention, with the appropriate numeric suffix, e.g. 'SMS 2', ' SMS 3', etc.
You can change the SMS node name from directly from this field.
Description
You have the option to add a description to each for loop node; this can be a useful way of documenting the node for yourself and other users.
