Issue:

the customer check the history in service extranet tool noticing that multiple SMS are sent for that message instead of one.

A possible explanation could be related to some extra character in the SMS template.

For example: Using copy/past from other source can introduce extra characters that generates problem.

As consequence the length of the SMS will be bigger than expected, and this will be equivalent to multiple SMS instead of a single SMS sent.

The suggestion will be to exclude this problem will be to delete the entire template and type it manually the body including also the tokens like [[CANDIDATE_FIRST_NAME]].

This method a will avoid any unexpected hidden characters.
