How to Use Text Follow Up

The Text Follow Up panel will only be shown in the Call Alert window if the consumer number is detected as a mobile number. The system will also check to see if an existing Mobile Text Conversation already exists with that particular mobile number. If the number is mobile and not already engaged in a text conversation with another agent, you are free to engage the consumer by first asking permission to communicate with them via text.

Here is the exact process:

  1. Send the permission message – Notice the Text Follow Up form is pre-filled with your information which is pulled from your Agent Profile. To change that information, right click on the boomerang and choose Options then select My Profile. Make the changes and then click save.
    Note: The content of the Permission Message is restricted so it cannot be used for communication other than gaining permission from the consumer. There are multiple options for the Permission Message. Click the Next> button in the bottom left of the Text Follow Up panel to see alternate choices.
  2. Wait for a reply – The “Originating Agent”, owns the conversation. If the consumer responds “Yes”, the Text Alert will be sent directly to the Originating Agent as shown below. If the consumer responds with Stop, Quit, Cancel or Unsubscribe, text communication with that mobile number will be disabled.
