The log records the date, time, sender, recipient and contents of the sent SMS.
In the OVHcloud Control Panel, you can view SMS messages sent in the last 6 months (or the last 5,000 SMS messages if you have sent more than 5,000 SMS messages in the last 6 months).
To view older SMS messages (up to the last 12 months), you will need to download your SMS history in CSV format. See Step 2 of this guide.
Step 1: Viewing the log in your Control Panel
In the tab bar, click Message and campaign then SMS Management to access your unit SMS history or Campaign Management to access your SMS campaign history.
Then click on Sending log or Statistics and history.
You can click on the ‘Date’ column on the left to sort your log by send date.
The Actions ... heading at the end of each SMS allows you to view or delete the message.
To delete several SMS messages at once, tick the boxes next to each message. The Delete the SMS selected button will appear above the log.
The Filter button allows you to filter your search by sender (if you have several senders) or by recipient.
Step 2: Downloading the sending log as a CSV
Click on the Actions button above your log then on Download to download your SMS log in a .csv format.
