Texting Compliance Keywords

Note: SMS will be available for all clients around the middle to end of August 2024.

Texting legislation and regulatory bodies require senders to support keywords like STOP, START, and HELP and take appropriate actions. Ascent360 automatically monitors inbound messages for compliance keywords and takes appropriate actions regarding confirmation messages and applying correct texting permission. 

The language of required compliance messages can be seen on the Automated Responses page of the Ascent360 CDP. 

Automated compliance messages count against your purchased SMS credits.
