Regulations for SMS communication differ by country and carrier. Before you set up an
SMS channel in Agentforce Service (formerly Service Cloud), review your country’s messaging
regulations to avoid fines or blocked messages.
Enhanced In-App Chat, Enhanced Web Chat v1, Enhanced Web Chat v2, Enhanced
WhatsApp, Standard and Enhanced Facebook Messenger, Enhanced Apple Messages for
Business, Enhanced LINE, and Bring Your Own Channel
Important Standard SMS channels were retired on February 14, 2026. To avoid service
interruptions, upgrade your standard SMS channels to enhanced channels now. Enhanced SMS
offers many of the standard SMS features
you love plus session transfers and AI agent support. See Upgrading from Standard to Enhanced Messaging.
You can use most existing US or Canadian numbers for long code SMS channels, or you can
request a new in-country long code number from Salesforce. Either way, to create your channel,
you must file a case with Salesforce Customer Support.
If you request a new long code phone number for SMS, sometimes you’re required to attach
country-specific messaging forms to your case. To view your country’s messaging regulations,
see SMS Regulations by Country (English only). Click your
country’s name, and then download the forms attached at the end of each article. If you don’t
see an attachment, no form is required.
