Managing incoming SMS

From the advanced menu, via the Adobe Campaign logo, select Administration > Application settings > External accounts then the SMS routing via SMPP external account.

Under the Automatic reply sent to the MO category, click Create element to start configuring your automatic reply.

Choose the keyword that will trigger this automatic reply. The keywords are not case-sensitive. For example, here, if recipients send the keyword "STOP", they will receive the automatic reply.

Leave this column empty if you want to send the same reply no matter what the keyword is.

In the Short code field, specify a number that is usually used to send deliveries and will serve as a sender name. You can also decide to leave the Short code column empty, to send the same reply no matter what the short code.

Type in the answer you want to send to your recipients in the field Answer .

To carry out an action without sending a reply, leave the Answer column empty. For example, this allows you to remove from quarantine the phone number of a user who replies with a message other than "STOP".

In the Additional action field, link an action to your automatic reply:

For example, in the configuration below, if recipients send the keyword "STOP", they will automatically receive an unsubscription confirmation and their phone number will be sent to quarantine with the Blacklisted status. This status refers to the phone number only, the profile is not blacklisted so that the user continues receiving email messages.
