Communication Management Overview
The Communication Management interface provides administrators with oversight and control of account communications, including email, SMS, and MMS messages. The Manage page organizes communications by status so administrators can approve, edit, preview, retry, and track messages from one place.

Accessing Communication Management
- Open Administration
- In the Communications section, select Manage
Communication Queues
The Manage page organizes communications into tabs based on their status. Each tab uses a paginated table with account links and communication details.
To Approve
Communications requiring administrator review before sending appear in the To Approve tab. Selected rows can be approved in bulk.
For detailed information about reviewing and approving communications, see To Approve Communications.
Scheduled
Future-dated email, SMS, and MMS messages waiting for delivery appear in the Scheduled tab. Administrators can edit, preview, or delete scheduled communications before they are sent.
For detailed information about managing scheduled communications, see Scheduled Communications.
Sent
Successfully sent communications appear in the Sent tab. Use this queue to verify delivery history and preview sent content.
For detailed information about reviewing sent communications, see Sent Communications.
Received
Inbound messages from debtors appear in the Received tab. Administrators can view received content and start an SMS reply from the related account.
For detailed information about managing inbound communications, see Received Communications.
Failed
Communications that encountered delivery errors appear in the Failed tab. Use View & Retry to reopen the communication and resend or reschedule it.
