Replay SMS Campaign

Suggest Edits

The Replay Campaign feature on the Kaleyra.io platform enables you to re-send a previous campaign to a selected set of original recipients based on their message delivery status.

For example:

  • If you send 100 messages and 50 of them are not delivered, you can try to re-send those 50 to increase your overall delivery rate.
  • If you send 100 messages and 50 of them are delivered and you want to send the campaign again as a reminder, you can re-send the message to 50 delivered statuses to save money on your reminder campaign.

The following are the use cases used:

  • Ability to re-send the campaign to recipients based on the delivery status.
  • Send reminders to recipients. This is a way to send (for example) 2 or 3 reminders without having to create a brand-new campaign.

Using this feature, you can:

  • Select an already closed Campaign.

  • Choose a subset of contacts from the submitted campaign, based on the SMS Delivery status.

  • Create a new, prepopulated campaign with the selected subset of contacts and by default with the same Message Body.

  • Change the Message Body/Templates for the new campaign.

  • Send the new campaign immediately or schedule it for later.
