This CRM
Not connected · Sending off
No message can be sent, scheduled or received from this screen. The office phone and WhatsApp account are untouched. SMS (TextAnywhere) has been retired from the CRM; WhatsApp is the only planned student channel.
Campaign preview — synthetic recipients only
This preview uses clearly synthetic recipients. It never reads the browser learner roster, hosted tables or any real contact list, and nothing typed here is saved.
