TRACK AND DELETE "UNHEALTHY" SUBSCRIBERS

"Unhealthy" subscribers are subscribers that aren't receiving your messages because their phone numbers are invalid or unreachable.

Wouldn't it be nice if there were an easy way to track and delete these subscribers? (That way you're not using up your messages on recipients that aren't actually receiving them.)

The "Unhealthy Subscribers" report lists all these subscribers in an easy table. From here you can delete the ones you no longer need.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR SMS AUTOMATION LIKE NEVER BEFORE!

Hyper customized SMS automations...

Campaigns with triggers and conditions and A/B tests...

It's now all available to you - with the Workflow Builder from Mobile Text Alerts.

For example, you can set up campaigns that allow you to do things like:

  • Automatically capture data points from your subscribers via SMS (if they text in their name or email address, for instance)
  • Trigger different automated messaging flows depending on how your subscribers respond to your texts - or depending on changes in your subscribers' data points (for example, if they move from a "Prospect" group into a "Purchased" group)
  • Send birthday texts automatically to your customers, without having to manually enter in any data

HOW TO TRACK YOUR SMS CONVERSIONS

How can you know whether your SMS campaigns are being successful in driving the conversions you're looking for?

You can use the new conversion tracking option in your Mobile Text Alerts dashboard!

It allows you to attribute customer "conversions" to your text message campaigns, based on whether your subscribers use a tracked link within your text messages to view specific pages on your site.

That way, you can have a better idea of how your text messages are performing - so that you can make better decisions about how to go about your SMS marketing efforts.

MORE ADAPTIVE GROUP OPTIONS

With adaptive groups, you're able to automate your subscriber segmentation so that you can send the most targeted messages possible.

And now you're able to automate with yet another possible added group condition: create groups based on whether or not someone is or is not in another group.

Check it out under the Manage Groups section of your account.

For more information or to get enabled to send iMessages, contact us.

MORE FLEXIBILITY WITH MULTI-OPTION CUSTOM ATTRIBUTES

You have even more flexibility for your custom attributes now with the added "Multi-Options" attribute type.

When you're setting up your new custom attribute, you can select "Multi-Options" and list out your desired number of options you'd like to be to select from for your subscribers.
