I can see that sending your invoices through text messages helps you simplify the payment process, Nicole138. I'll gladly explain the recent changes to the SMS Text Messaging feature in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Due to the recent updates in QBO, the SMS Text Messaging feature in your invoices is currently unavailable. This explains why you can only send your invoices by copying a link and then pasting it into your text messages.

Currently, there is no specific timeframe for when this feature will be available again in QuickBooks Online (QBO). For updates on new features and announcements, please visit the News & Data section of the website.

Additionally, please refer to this article if you need to personalize and add specific info to your sales forms: Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online.
