Reviewing Text Messages Sent & Received

Text/voice broadcasts and 1 to 1 texting conversations will be logged on the relevant employee or contact record under messages for your records. 

*Note* The message action code used when logging these messages can be customized for your system. Ask your TempWorks support team for help. 

These messages are saved to display entire conversations had between a service rep & employee/contact so they will log the messages after about 5 minutes of no activity. 

Check out Beyond - Message Logging for more information on how you can find and utilize message options in Beyond.
