      Note: The recipients phone number must be in E.164 format. If you're using a Workflow variable here, verify that it's collected in this format.

    3. The Sender Phone Number is the Sender ID or “From” phone number associated with your Twilio account.

      Note: View and manage this number in your Twilio account.

    4. Enter a Message Body.
      This is what your recipient will see when they receive your text message. This message has a 1600 character limit.

  5. Click the Activation slider if you want your Workflow active immediately.
