SMS – Collecting Opt-Ins

Opt-ins are important in order to send SMS messages. There are various ways you can designate & collect opt-ins in Omeda, via Audience Search, Data Loader & Form Builder.

Audience Search

In Audience Search, when viewing a customer, you can add and designate a mobile phone number in their contact info. Under the Email Opt In / Opt Out section, there is a new SMS Opt In / Opt Out section where you can designate the opt-in status of a customer. Message Types you have already created will appear here to manually adjust which types the customer is opted in or out of, by phone number.
