Setting up an SMS Task
You can use a workflow to automate the sending of SMS messages to your leads, contacts, employees, etc.
For example, if the status of a lead is Qualified, you might want to send them a thank you note via SMS. You can automate this by setting up a workflow. To learn in detail about workflows, click here.
However, you must configure the SMS Notifier before sending out SMSes. Vtiger supports popular SMS gateways such as TextAnywhere and Clickatell. To learn more about the SMS configuration, click here.
Follow these steps to set up the SMS Task action:
Accessing the workflow page:
- Click the User Menu on the top right corner of the screen
- Click the Settings button
- Look for the Automation section
- Select Workflows
- Click the +New Workflow button
- Select Standard
Entering the basic information:
- Select the Target Module as Leads
- Enter workflow name, status, etc
Select the workflow trigger:
- Select this Workflow Trigger - Lead updated (Includes Creation)
- Choose Every time conditions are met from Recurrence
Set up the workflow entry criteria:
- Click the +Add Condition button
- Enter the condition - Lead Status is Qualified by following the steps below -
- Select ‘Lead Status’ from the first drop-down and ‘is’ from the second
- Click on the text area on the right
- Select Raw text from the drop-down
- Click on Select an option
- Choose Qualified
- Click Save
Set up the action:

- SMS Text: Enter the message body here. To insert a field value into the SMS, place the cursor in the desired position
