Configure message aliases
Role: Company Administrator.
The Alias Manager lets you configure a list of workspace-specific aliases that can be used in templates and messages. Aliases allow users to send a message with customised sender details (such as your company’s name), which give message recipients additional context about the message. Aliases can be used for mobile (SMS messages and push notifications), email and voice messages, and email-to-SMS messages.
When a user is creating a new message or new message template they have the option of selecting from the list of aliases that you’ve configured in the Alias Manager. If they don’t select an alias Whispir’s default generic phone number and email address are shown to recipients instead.
Note: Additional setup work is required by the Whispir Support Team to enable aliases for the Email and Voice channels.
To learn more about how users apply aliases to messages and templates see Understand a message’s Features tab (for ‘classic’ messages) and Understand a message’s Features settings (for Rich Message Studio messages).
