Built-in Unsubscribe Integration

How to configure and setup

(info) Ongage has built-in unsubscribe integration with MessageMedia. Meaning if a subscribers replies with an unsubscribe keyword, as detailed below, then the active status of the contact in Ongage will automatically change to Unsubscribed (the deactivated Ongage status that prevents that contact from participating in any future Ongage campaigns).

  1. By Default the Ongage - MessageMedia connection supports the following unsubscribe keywords(even if the unsubscribe keywords field is kept blank):
    1. stop
    2. quit
    3. cancel
    4. unsubscribe
    5. In addition you can configure your own custom unsubscribe keywords, using comma separated values, in the following settings, in the Ongage - MessageMedia connection:

Setting Up a HELP Reply

A Help reply message can be setup within the Ongage-MessageMedia connection, where you can select the sms text help message to be sent via this connection. 

  1. Select the Ongage list that this autoresponder will apply for.
  2. Select the SMS Help message.
  3. Select a transactional campaign for aggregating statistics for these sends. It is typically recommended to setup a dedicated transactional campaign for this (though if you already have a dedicated transactional campaign for your SMS text messages, you can choose to use that as well).
