Customized Join Replies

Note: This feature is only available on our Credits plan

Want to set up a custom auto-reply for when a contact joins one of your contact groups?

You can set one up for the entire account or for specific groups on the Contacts page. Here's how to do it:


Before You Begin

  • How long can a join reply be? The maximum length for your custom join reply is 160 characters. 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.

  3. Click the checkbox to enable join replies.
  4. Type your join reply in the text field.
