This button saves your changes.
This button saves your changes as a default SMS template for future events. It applies only on the type of SMS you are editing, so if you are customizing ticket SMS, the template will be saved for future ticket SMSs and not all SMSs.

Discussed in the following section.
Available Variables is a drop down menu that lets you copy different variables and paste them in the SMS content. Different variables insert different information without having to type it manually. For example, the variable product_title will insert the name of your event in the SMS.
So if you make the content as “Here is your ticket for product_title”, and the name of your event (name of Shopify product page) is “Webinar: Future of S&P 500”, then the subject will show as “Here is your ticket for Webinar: Future of S&P 500“.
These are the available variables:
product_title — will insert the shopify product name (it is supposed to be your events title)
shop_name — will insert the name of your Shopify store (it is supposed to be brand or entity name)
customer_name — will insert the first name of the customer who bought the ticket
secret_link — will insert the secret link to your event livestream
event_time — will insert the date and time of your event
event_location — will insert the location of your event (you can change the location in the Event tab after clicking on your event from the main dashboard)
shopify_product_url — will insert the url of the event’s product page
add_to_calendar_link — will insert a shortened link to add the event to calendar directly
insert_calendar_logo — will insert a calendar icon
event_time_disclaimer — will insert a disclaimer with the date and time of the event
