Bp SMS Autotext (NZ)

Bp SMS Autotext templates will be available for New Zealand users in Bp VIP.net Topaz SP2 in accordance with mobile network provider policy updates. Templates will be imported from the Live Update utility and can be set as defaults from the Communications tab in Facility Preferences.

If Bp SMS is already configured, after upgrading to Bp VIP.net Topaz SP2, users will need to import and update the default templates to one of the newly supplied system templates to continue sending SMS messages.

IMPORTANT The autotext SMS system templates provided cannot be modified or edited. To retain functionality of customisable autotext SMS messages, sites will need to purchase their own short code from the Bp Sales team.
