- Replies in conversation views

Attachment Limitations/Restrictions
Attachments to email messages will not impact credit usage and are limited to a file size of 2MB. SMS message attachments will have a few additional restrictions, listed below:
- Outgoing file size limit is 2MB
- Each attachment counts as an additional message or credit.
- Photos (i.e. PNG, JPEG, GIF files) are fully supported
- Other file types can be attached (e.g. PDF files) however they are not guaranteed to get through, or if they do go through they might not be viewable on the end-user’s phone. Attachments that are not in a supported format will include a link to the attachment in the outgoing message.
- Please note: The link included is NOT secure and anyone who receives the link can open the attachment. Your Apptoto portal will show a warning icon when a file type that is not fully supported is attached to a SMS message.
Incoming Attachements
Incoming Attachments can now be received through incoming SMS replies and incoming Emails replies. An email notification will be sent notifying you about a reply including a list of the attachments that were received. You must log in to Apptoto to download the attachment.
