Rather than BLOCK the SMS, maybe the error should point that the message is "under review" before being approved and sent? The hard error message seems to be a massive failure when in fact, there was no failure at all.

I have checked - there are no missing email addresses, no duplicate email addresses, and I have tried uploading .csv and .xlsx files multiple times with no success.

Is anyone else having issues? Or do you have any suggestions?

Think of me as a General Practitioner for Business Health. As a Cash Flow Advisor, Consultant, and Commercial Loan Broker, I diagnose the financial systems that determine whether a business thrives or quietly bleeds cash.

I review financials to identify hidden fees, underpayments, missed opportunities, unnecessary costs, and cash-flow leaks. My focus includes revenue recovery, payment processing, cost reduction, working capital, cash-flow optimization, and strategic access to capital.

My philosophy is simple: diagnose before prescribing. Before adding debt or making major changes, I look for money already earned or expenses that can be reduced.

When specialized expertise is needed, I collaborate with trusted LOBO Partners, including CPAs, lenders, benefits professionals, and payment specialists.

One business. The right expert. A unified strategy.

  Don't have SMS yet? The Assistant can still draft and save texts for you. Scheduling and sending need the SMS add-on and an approved registration. (How to add SMS)

Contacts and segments

You can now ask the assistant:

• "How many contacts are in my Volunteers segment?"

• "Show me contacts tagged newsletter who were added this month"

• "Build a segment of contacts who opened more than five emails in the last 90 days"

It can also update an existing segment, tell you how big a new segment will be before creating it, and clean up old test segments. It'll ask you to confirm before deleting anything.

See a preview of all this in the video above.

3 minutes, 3 prompts

1. "Who are my most engaged contacts from the last 90 days?"

2. "Turn that into a segment called VIPs."

3. "Draft a short text thanking my VIPs and giving them early access to my next sale or event."

Thank GOODNESS I found Frank!

Frank has been designing monthly e-mail ads for one of my Sacramento clients since February 2009. Here's what I love about working with Balderrama Design: The ads are highly professional. It's amazing what he can do with a couple of product photos and a few words of copy. It's not unusual for my client to get a 40% open rate - month after month. And, he works quickly, sometimes knocking out a beautiful ad within 24 hours.

Because of Frank's work, the client, a prior fan of direct mail, was sold on e-mail ads from the very first ad. The client now knows there is no better way for a company to stay connected to its prospects and customers. In addition, Frank's extensive experience and knowledge of all things web-based allowed him to quickly step in and assist with a training video for this client in 2009. Similar to the e-mail ads, the video was professional, effective, and a huge hit with the client.

Frank is one of a kind. You'll enjoy working with him.

My new venture could not have been launched, as successfully as it was, without Balderrama Design

Frank Balderrama of Balderrama Design. Frank brings everything to the table -- top notch web design skills, incredible artistic talent and significant experience with Constant Contact. He delivered on every promise he made and was always available. In addition, Frank brought passion to the project and a desire for it to succeed that equaled my own. Frank is still involved in my venture, post-launch, and I think of him as a partner and not a vendor.

He’s always been our go-to. Fast responses, quick fixes, and calm communication

We’ve worked with Frank for many years at Sweet Deal, and I truly can’t imagine navigating our digital presence without him.

He first stepped in during what felt like a full website crisis and handled it immediately, everything was resolved quickly, and what could have been a really stressful situation suddenly felt manageable.

Because of that experience, we made the decision to continue working with Frank — and we’ve never looked back. We came to him with a pretty outdated website, and he had no issue designing a new one and bringing everything up to speed. Since then, he’s consistently maintained our new site, handled updates and responded quickly whenever something came up.

He’s always been our go-to. Fast responses, quick fixes, and calm communication — even when things feel urgent. Frank really is a one-stop shop, but more than that, he’s someone you can count on and genuinely enjoy working with.
