How can people subscribe to receive text messages?

There are three ways people can subscribe to receive text messages. Each of these subscription methods is TCPA compliant.

1. Upload a list of supporters. 

  • To learn how to upload a list, click here.
  • When the first text message is sent to an uploaded list, the TCPA compliance message will be sent right before it.

Note: For-profit companies must have "expressed written content" to upload lists of mobile numbers.

2. Supporters can text one of your keywords. 

  • Each keyword captures a list of supporters. Keywords are created with your activities or consider setting up an Text-to-Subscribe activity. 
  • The purpose of a Text-to-Subscribe activity is to grow your supporter database. Interested supporters text your keyword and receive a one-time automated response. To learn how to set up a Text-to-Subscribe activity, click here.

3. Supporters can enter their number to subscribe.

  • There are two areas to include this option: the Footer of your Activity Landing Page and/or the Confirmation Page.

Activity Landing Page

  • Include a section in the Footer of your Activity Landing Page for supporters to subscribe.
  • Use the Activity Landing Page designer to turn on the Mailing Subscription List within the Footer.
  • Supporters who enter their phone number are added to the list of subscribers for your Keyword.

Confirmation Page

  • Include a section on the Confirmation Page for supporters to subscribe.
  • Turn on the Mailing List Subscription within your Confirmation Page editor.
  • Supporters who enter their phone number are added to the list of subscribers for your Keyword.
