Phone number opt-ins
Customers can manage their eligibility status through opting in via text message, through either a single or double opt-in flow.
At any time, a customer can text an unsubscribe keyword and be unsubscribed.
Single opt-in
A customer signs up to receive marketing communication by submitting their phone number. The customer is considered opted-in.
Double opt-in
A customer signs up to receive marketing communications by submitting their phone number. The customer is considered known.
Then, the customer receives a second text to confirm the opt-in, which they respond to with an opt-in keyword. The customer is now considered opted-in.
