Draft SMS variations with AI, then rotate them in SMS Studio

Use a separate AI writing tool to draft a few greetings. Copy the ones you like into SMS Studio and use content rotation to vary the wording while keeping the check-in instructions the same.

Draft alternatives for one part of the SMS

Clay Room is texting guests who have booked a Saturday pottery workshop. Everyone needs to check in by 9:50 a.m. for a 10 a.m. start. The studio can change the greeting while keeping those times fixed in the SMS Studio campaign template.

Prompt to paste into your AI writing tool

Write three short alternatives to β€œSee you at pottery class!” for guests who have already booked. Return only the greeting. Leave out dates, times and arrival instructions.

β€œReady to get your hands muddy?” fits the reminder. β€œDrop in whenever you’re ready!” makes the deadline sound optional. Keep the original greeting and the first suggestion.

Add both greetings to one SMS Studio campaign

In SMS Studio, open Campaigns and click Create campaign. In the campaign composer, put both greetings inside curly braces and separate them with a vertical bar. This tells SMS Studio to pick one greeting for each recipient. The studio name and check-in details stay outside the braces and appear in every text.

Paste this example into the campaign composer
Clay Room: {See you at pottery class!|Ready to get your hands muddy?} Check in by 9:50 am Saturday. Class starts at 10 am.

Go to Campaigns in SMS Studio β†’

Check what each recipient could see

Version 1
Clay Room: See you at pottery class! Check in by 9:50 am Saturday. Class starts at 10 am.
Version 2
Clay Room: Ready to get your hands muddy? Check in by 9:50 am Saturday. Class starts at 10 am.

Check each complete version in the composer, including any link or opt-out text you plan to send. A longer greeting can increase the number of segments. Restore the rotation template, send a test to your phone, and schedule the campaign when the wording and segment counts look right.
