How SMS consent works

Check SMS consent before contacting a customer.

Updated October 4, 2026For: Owners · Managers · Front desk · Team members

Check SMS consent before contacting a customer.

What to check

Record whether SMS permission is unknown, tied to an inbound enquiry, express, service-only or unsubscribed. A phone number alone is not evidence of permission. STOP keywords unsubscribe the SMS channel; START can restore it through a supported provider workflow.

Check the channel and purpose

SMS and email consent are recorded separately for the business workspace. Service follow-up concerns the customer’s request, quote or booking; it is not permission for unrelated promotions. Respect opt-outs and record the real source and date of consent.

When a message is blocked

Read the reason, check consent and channel configuration, and review the recent thread before retrying. Do not invent consent or override an opt-out to make a message send. If you cannot resolve the issue, ask your workspace Owner or support.
