The default value is 50. | | sn_ca.sms_notification.max_users_per_event | Determines the maximum number of users to add per a campaign event for SMS. The default is 1,000. | | sn_cd.sms_notification.max_recipients | Determines the maximum number of users to add per Content Delivery notification for SMS. The default value is 50,000. | | sn_cd.sms_notification.max_users_per_event | Determines the maximum number of users to add for a Content Delivery event for SMS. The default value is 1,000. | | glide.notify.sms.max_concatenation | Notify supports the concept of SMS concatenation. The maximum length of a single SMS is 160 characters for plaintext or 70 characters for Unicode SMS messages. Up to 10 SMS messages are linked together when the maximum length is reached. This property configures the maximum number of SMS messages that are linked into one large SMS message. If the body length is exceeded the body truncates and a message logs. Note: The charges are per SMS, which means that 1600 character SMS is 10 times as expensive as a 160 character SMS. Also, not all providers support SMS concatenation. | [Table 1.
