Customized Join Replies

Note: This feature is available on both the Credits plan and the Monthly 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. For Credits accounts, your account will be deducted 1 credit for each custom join reply sent out. For Monthly accounts, there is no extra cost associated with this feature.
  • All custom keywords for groups must start with the word JOIN. There is no way to change this keyword.
