We are excited to be launching support for SMS (texting) of our survey invitations. This new feature requires us to make some changes to the ClearlyRated dashboard reports. With that, an additional data field called ‘contact_sms’ will be included in the existing reports that are available to be exported from our software. This change may impact you depending on how you use these reports.

We recognize this might cause problems with internal tools you or your team may have built. We apologize for that and we want you to know that we work very hard to limit our changes to these exports as much as possible. We hope by giving you this heads up that you will have some time to adapt to the new downloads. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns!
