​

The mechanism is based on a simple but effective model:

  • Selecting the right audience segment – messages are sent only to users with the Customers status and those who visited the store within the last 30 days

  • Sending an SMS invitation to subscribe – the message contains an activation link

  • Automatic subscription status update after a click – the system updates the customer status without manual intervention

  • Subscription confirmation – you should launch the “Welcome new SMS subscribers” scenario so the customer receives confirmation and a thank-you message

Thanks to this, the process is fully transparent and gives customers complete control.
