3. My custom value does not work when the message is sent. What should I do?
Ensure there are no spaces in your custom value URL. You can test this by adding it to a dummy funnel and previewing the page. If the MMS appears, the custom value is functional.
Verify that the MMS URL meets the size requirement for the specified carrier (refer to the table above for size requirements).
