It is not difficult to establish Automated SMS rules and it will save you a great deal of time. Here is our step-by-step guide to creating message automation rules: First, access the Automated SMS Tab by going to the Services -> Automation Rules tab. You must have at least one Text 4 biz virtual SMS number for incoming SMS automation rules to work properly and offer reliable two-way communication. Second, establish your Keywords, which are special words sent to you by customers via text that can set off SMS automation rules. Examples include ‘subscribe’ or ‘opt-in’ (for subscriptions), ‘stop’, ‘end’ or ‘stopall’ (for opting out), ‘discount’, ‘offers’ or ‘coupons’ (for special deals), ‘help’, ‘more info’, ‘features’, and so on. Third, build your Message Automation Rules. Return to the Rules tab and click on Create New Rule. Choose the account to which the rule will be connected, provide a name, and select the number(s) to be impacted by the rule. Choose one of the keywords that you have already arranged as triggers for the rule and decide which countries the rule will target, if any. For the response type, select ‘text message’ and compose the SMS. You can use SMS tags and templates for extra customisation and even attach files in the automated SMS. Additionally, you can set the rule to only trigger once for each unique sender by ticking the ‘trigger rule only once to new and unique numbers’ box. Finally, you can also create automatic actions for adding or removing contacts from your list when an automated SMS is activated. Prior to saving, you may view the details of the new automated SMS and make adjustments, if necessary.

You can delete a message automation rule from the Services -> Automation Rules -> Rules tab by clicking on the grey wheel icon and choosing Delete rule if you no longer need it for SMS marketing. Please remember that there is no way to recover deleted SMS automation rules.

By selecting the Edit rule button, you can update and modify an automated SMS rather than deleting it. Everything is editable, including the rule filters and the kind of auto-response that will be provided.

Automation rules should not be allowed to run when they are not required. Assume that you provide coupons during the final week of each month. The message automation rule does not have to run continuously for the entire month. All it takes to pause automated text messages is to click on the grey wheel icon and select Pause rule. All you have to do is click Resume rule to start the rule.

Creating SMS templates in advance is the best way to streamline the message automation process. This can be accomplished via the Templates tab. Select “New template” to start creating and personalizing your message. You can import the text message template straight into the next automated SMS message you create.

From the Services -> Automation Rules -> Logs tab, you can see every automated SMS that has been sent. These logs also show the action’s triggering rule, as well as its current status and duration of execution. To view additional information about the text message, click the grey wheel icon.
