To set the desired end goals for the SMS sending, click Set Your Goals (as highlighted in the screenshot above).

The subsequent screen displays KPIs for the different goal types that you can set for the SMS sending. In case the SMS that you are sending also includes a landing page, you can set performance and conversion goals for the Landing Page as well.

1. SMS Sending Goals

These goals are meant for setting performance targets for the SMS(s) being sent.

For example, the number of SMSs delivered, or the number of clicks received on the landing page URL, the number of unsubscribes, etc.
