Group Text Messaging Options
Auto Responder:
When a customer opts-in to your campaign, they will instantly be sent back an auto-reply message. This auto response can be changed at any time to include a welcome message, coupon or promotions.
Alternate Message:
If a customer tries to re-opt in to the service after having already been opted-in, an alternate message can be sent to them in place of the default auto-responder. This prevents duplicate coupon use.
Age Verification:
This feature requires the contact to enter their birth date before they can opt-in to a keyword. Great for age-restricted products and services.
2-Way Messaging:
Respond directly to your customers one-on-one from your TXT180 inbox. Replies from a message sent to a group are not seen by anyone in the group, they come in as an individual message to your Inbox. See the entire message thread for that number in a user-friendly cell-phone-like interface.
Drip Messages:
In addition to the default auto-responder sent on first opt-in, a series of drip messages can be scheduled to be sent at specified intervals from when the subscriber opted-in such as 5 days after initial opt-in.
Text Message Scheduler:
Our unique scheduler allows you to schedule your campaigns to go out daily, weekly or monthly to save you time.
Text 2 Win:
One of the quickest ways to gain opt-ins, text 2 win helps motivate customers to join your sms marketing campaign. Simply set up a campaign to entice customers to opt-in for a chance to win something.
Random Select Winner:
If you’ve set up a Text 2 Win campaign you can use this feature to randomly select a number of subscribers from your contacts to deem as winners and send a winning text message to them!
Text 2 Vote:
Set up a voting campaign where subscribers can text in to cast a vote! Our support staff can help you set this up!
Text 4 Info:

Mobile Apps:
Clients who need to send a text blast message from their phone can do so with our mobile apps on iPhone or Android.
Multiple Users:
Use the sub-user feature to create multiple admin logins. Each admin will have a unique email address to login and can be assigned to one or multiple keywords on the account. You can also limit billing functions to prevent any unauthorized purchases on the account.
Dynamic Date Feature:
Enter a unique expiration date on each text, based on a number of days after the message is received. Example: Customer texts Pizza to your number to get a free appetizer. They receive the response of, “Enjoy a free appetizer at The Pizza Shoppe! Redeem by 01/01/19”. The date will change based on the number of days you have set and the date they opt-in.

MMS Messaging:
This can be enabled on a paid account – send pictures or media files. This uses 3 credits per contact to send.
Groups:
TXT180 offers a unique grouping service where your opt-ins can join a group directly. They can also receive a different auto-responder than the main keyword auto-responder. We are the only company that offers this feature. Which eliminates the need for multiple keywords if desired.

Every TXT180 customer has the ability to be notified via text message or email when a contact opts-in to their campaign. Messages will also be stored in the inbox in the control panel.
Auto Replenish:
The TXT180 Auto Replenish feature will allow you to set a minimum threshold of messages for your account and a bundle size to refill the account with if you fall below that balance. It’s impossible to predict the total number of messages you’ll receive in a month, with auto replenish you’ll never run out of messages on your account.
Flyer Builder:
