Adding Dashboards

Dashboards are the 10-digit phone numbers used to send and receive texts through Text Request. You can have as many dashboards under one account as you like.

Each additional dashboard gives you another, fully customizable, Text Request login (for a fraction of the cost of a new account).

Every Text Request account comes with one dashboard included.

To add more Dashboards:

1. Go to the Dashboards section of your menu. 

2. Click the New Dashboard button.
