Customized Join Replies

Contacts may join your contact list by texting a keyword to your account's text number. You may set up an automatic text reply when someone joins your contact list. This can be set up for the entire account or for specific groups on the Contact page.

Before You Begin

There are a few things you should know about customized join replies before you decide if this is a feature you would like to use.

• The maximum length for your auto-reply is 160 characters. If you are on the Pay As You Go plan, your account will be deducted 1 credit for each custom join reply sent out.
• All custom keywords for groups must start with the word JOIN. There is no way to change this keyword.
