• Send Messages to your Subscribers - You can send messages to your subscribers at anytime just by selecting your Subscription List when sending a message
• Multiple Subscription List Support - You can create multiple Subscription Lists which can be updated by different events
• Online Management - Subscription Lists are managed via WebSMS portal
• Export / Import - Subscription lists can by imported or exported at any time

Creating a Subscription List:

Subscription Lists are managed within the WebSMS portal.

To create a Subscription List:

• Login to your account
• Click on Automation->Lists
• Click on 'New Subscription List'
• Enter a name for the list
• By default a number will be automatically unsubscribed when a platform-level unsubscribe event occurs (e.g. STOP sent to 86688). To disable default functionality set 'Platform Auto-Unsubscribe' to No.
• Click 'Save Changes'

Automatically building subscriptions:

The IntelliSMS Platform is able to automatically add subscribers to your list when particular events occur (e.g. message sent to your keyword or virtual number).

This functionality is managed through rules. A new rule can be created as follows:

• Login into your WebSMS account
• Click on Automation->Rules
• Click on 'New Rule'
• Enter Rule Name (e.g. 'Subscribe Number')
• For 'Run Rule When' select 'Message Received'
• For 'On' select your shortcode keyword or virtual number
• For 'Then' select 'Update Subscription List'
• For 'Subscription' select the subscription list to be updated
• For 'Action' select 'Opt-In Number'
• Click 'Save Changes'

Tip: You can also create a rule that is triggered on a delivery report. For example, create a rule to remove a subscription if you get a Delivery Failure. This can be used to cleanse your list of numbers no longer in use.
