How to Manage Inbound SMS Messages on Textedly’s Platform
Now, we’ll walk through how Textedly users can easily and conveniently manage their free inbound SMS messages on the Textedly platform.

Inbound SMS messages will appear in your Textedly Inbox. View your inbound SMS messages by clicking on the Inbox tab located on the left-hand side of the dashboard. Your inbound SMS messages don’t only have to come from your SMS marketing subscribers.
You can also integrate your inbox with your other business platforms like Shopify, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and more!
You can respond directly to your customers’ inbound SMS messages through Textedly’s Inbox. If you need to add reminders for responses, you can even add notes to your messages that are only visible to you.
To leave a note, write your note in the message box of your thread with the customer. Then, click “Save as Note”, and your note will save. Notes will show up as yellow to differentiate from your visible replies to customers.

To set up your SMS message reply alerts:
- Click on your profile in the bottom left corner of your dashboard and then select Account Settings from the menu.
- Once on this page, scroll all the way down to the bottom and you will see Alerts. Click the Edit Contact Details button and switch the toggle for the “Inbox alerts are” from Disabled to Enabled.
