A "click to text" feature that would allow us to SMS (text) recipients directly from the activity feed similar to sending an email. These messages would also appear in the notes in the activity feed.

  You can now SMS students from multiple places in Populi including the profile!

  I'm looking at the Activity feed for a prospect who has completed an application and can't see where the SMS button is.  Do I have to change something?

  @Dave - You can only SMS people with verified SMS numbers, and it doesn't look like that student has one. The new inquiry/application process lets folks verify when they add their phone number in the first place so going forward it's you'll be more likely to have a verified number to SMS.

  Thanks, is there a way to send current applicants request to give us permission to correspond via SMS?

  Unfortunately there isn't a way to do that. Sorry about that. Let us know how it works for you as you get new applicants!
