1. What should I do if an SMS isn't being sent?

Answer: First, you need to check:

  • whether there are sufficient funds in the SMS service to send the SMS;

  • whether the customer’s or recipient’s number includes the country code;

  • whether the alpha name from the SMS service is correctly specified in the communication channel (it must be identical);

  • whether the connected SMS service is enabled;

  • whether your alpha name has been approved. If you have just submitted a request for its approval, you can use the following as a temporary solution:

  • for TurboSMS: Dostavka24, IT Alarm, AKCIYA, Best-Shop;

  • for SMS Club: Shop Zakaz, BigSales.

2. What should I do if the TurboSMS communication channel disconnects and a message appears asking me to check the API token?

Answer: All connection types can be automatically disabled if they have not been used for more than 6 months.

To update connection data, go to the TurboSMS dashboard under the section «Gateway (API)» → «API Settings» and update the data.

For SQL, SMPP, and SOAP connections, create a new username and password for server authorization; for HTTP API, generate a new token.

The new API key must be copied and pasted into the existing TurboSMS connection in keyCRM.

3. How do I automatically send SMS messages?

Answer: You need to create message templates and set up trigger-based automation for sending.

4. Why did the chat with the sent SMS message disappear?

Answer: If this was the only message sent to the customer and an error occurred during sending, such a chat is automatically deleted. You can view the reason for the error in the notifications window.

5. Why wasn’t the SMS message sent automatically in the pipeline card?

Answer: An SMS message via trigger automation is sent if a customer is saved in the pipeline card.

6. Why wasn’t the SMS message sent to an international number?

Answer: Make sure that in the SMS service dashboard, you have selected a plan that allows sending messages to international numbers.

7. Why wasn’t the message sent to Viber?

Answer: Check whether:

  • the «Viber Priority» toggle is enabled in the channel settings;

  • the correct «Viber Sender Name» is specified;

  • the customer has a Viber number;
