Most countries in the world have the same rule: when a customer opts-out, don't contact them again. However, the United States and France both require you to reply to your customers and confirm the SMS opt-out was received.

Set auto-replies for SMS messages from the US

To set your auto-reply country rules for unsubscribe-related SMS messages received from the United States:

  1. Go to Account > SMS settings and select the Country rules tab.

  2. Under the United States section, select edit.

  3. Under the label From name, use the drop-down menu to select the from name or number of your SMS response.

    For the US this must be a toll free number or short code that you have purchased.

  4. To turn on your SMS auto-replies, under the label Status, select Active. To turn off, select Inactive.

    For the US you must send an opt-out confirmation message after your contact opts out. For toll-free numbers, the network automatically sends a confirmation message for you, so no action is needed. But if you send your message from a shortcode, you must activate and enter an opt-out confirmation message.

  5. Under the heading Message, edit the reply template for each of the three trigger words.

    There are three boxes: STOP, HELP, and UNSTOP. Personalise the templates for each.
