Check SMS Status:

An SMS notification might not get delivered to the intended respondent due to the following reasons:

  • The phone number is incorrect.

  • Failure from the SMS service provider. 

To verify whether SMS notifications have been delivered to your recipients, follow the steps below: 

  1. Navigate to All entries or Reports.
