Reminders

There are a few things to keep in mind when integrating your Follow Up Boss account with SendHub.

• When the integration is enabled, a SendHub message will be sent to the associated contact when any 'Text' Task is created. To avoid potentially sending unintended messages, be sure existing integrations, manual processes, or Action Plans will not create Tasks with the type of 'Text'.
• Message segmenting still applies for messages initiated via the Follow Up Boss integration. Follow Up Boss does not have a character counter, meaning it is important to be aware of how many characters you are sending to avoid going over your plan's limit. To learn more about how you are billed for messages read our message segmenting article.
