⚠️ Warning: SMS Notifications May Appear Shortened or Incomplete

When sending invites via SMS, replaceable fields like [user_firstname] and [user_company] may cause the message to be shortened or cut off, especially if the full message exceeds the SMS character limit.

For example:
Hi Stew from Company Na... needs info from you
(Instead of showing the full company name)

This happens because each placeholder expands to dynamic content, and SMS systems prioritize keeping the message under the limit, sometimes cutting off variable fields first.

Workaround:
To prevent truncation, hard-code important fields such as the company name directly into the message.
Example: Replace [user_company] with Company Name.
