Replies, the inbox and opt-out

Campaign messages stay out of your agents' working queues until a recipient replies. When someone replies, the conversation opens in the inbox as normal, with the campaign message above it.

  • New conversations created by a campaign start as resolved and unassigned. They are not hidden: agents can find them under the Resolved or All filter, for example to check whether a customer got the campaign.

  • Existing conversations do not change. Their status and assignee stay the same, and the campaign message does not move them to the top of the inbox.

A reply reopens the conversation through the normal inbound flow.


Opt-out

An opted-out contact is left out of every future campaign. There are four ways to opt a contact out:

How

Where

Notes

Recipient replies STOP

Automatic

Exactly the word "stop" (any capitals), and only when the last message sent in that chat was a campaign message.

By hand

Inbox contact panel or contact details: Opt out of campaigns

One contact at a time. Agents can do this too. Opt back in to campaigns reverses it.

CSV import

Contact import: map a column to optedOut

true / 1 opts out, false / 0 opts back in.

After a campaign

Campaign page, Audience card: Opt out undelivered

For finished campaigns. Opts out every contact whose message was never confirmed delivered. Typed numbers without a contact are not affected.

Tip

The Enter manually tab warns that a typed number may already be opted out. If it is, it is left out automatically.
