SmartMoving gives you full control over the automated messages your customers receive. You can customize wording, enable or disable templates, and create different messages for sales, operations, and customer notifications.

❗️Note: Only company admins can create or edit message templates.

You can create unlimited templates and tailor them to match your workflow and communication style.


Types of Message Templates

Before editing a template, determine which type you want to customize.

I. Sales Templates

Used for proposals, follow-ups, confirmations, and other sales communications.

Where to find it:
​Settings > Sales > Sales Templates

From here, you can:

  • Click Add Template to create a new sales template

  • Click an existing template name to edit it


II. Email & SMS Communication Templates

Used for operational messages such as job reminders, invoice notifications, customer updates, and Crew Arrival Notification.

Where to find it:
​Settings > Company Settings > Email / SMS Templates

From here, you can:

  • Toggle templates on or off

  • Click a template name to edit it

  • Customize both email and SMS versions


Using the Template Editor

Each template includes an editor where you can:

  • Customize the message text

  • Add formatting

  • Insert tokens (tags) to pull in customer, job, or company data

  • Switch between Email, SMS, or both


Choose Email or SMS Editor

Use the Email/SMS drop-down at the top of the editor to select:

  • Email Only - shows only the email editor

  • SMS Only - shows only the SMS editor

  • Email & SMS - shows both editors

Email Editor

The Email Editor works like a standard text editor and allows you to:

  • Format text (bold, italics, alignment)

  • Add lists and links

  • Insert tags (tokens) to dynamically pull in data

SMS Editor

The SMS Editor allows you to create a short text message version of your template and insert tokens the same way you do for email.

❗️ Character limits:
SMS messages are limited to 140 characters.
If your message exceeds this limit, customers may receive multiple message segments, which may increase billing costs depending on their carrier.
