Prevent Dotted Lines in SMS
How can I stop dotted lines from appearing in my SMS messages?
To stop dotted lines from appearing in your SMS messages, you need to adjust the HTML placeholders in your triggers. The dotted lines are caused by using placeholders like{{ticket.latest_comment_html}}or{{ticket.latest_public_comment_html}}.
To fix this, open the ticket from which the text was sent, go to the ticket events, and find the trigger that sent the message. Replace the HTML placeholder with{{ticket.latest_public_comment}}in the trigger action. This will ensure the text is sent without formatting, eliminating the dotted lines.
