There are two different types of communication in GymLeads, transactional and marketing.
Transactional emails and SMS’s are individual messages between a GymLeads user and a lead that relate to the leads original enquiry.
Transactional messages can be:
A manual email or SMS sent from the sales app by a user to a lead.
Automated emails or SMSs that are part of a funnel (only active, unassigned and closed leads can receive automated transactional messages)
Bulk opt in emails
