FAQ
What is a text message Sequence?
A text message Sequence is a series of messages you schedule to automatically be sent out ahead of time around a specific date. Instead of sending a single one-time text, a Sequence delivers multiple touchpoints (before, on, and after a key date) so customers stay informed and engaged at every step.
How is a text message Sequence different from a drip campaign?
A drip campaign is structured to send messages based on a trigger or campaign. For example, a series of messages triggered after someone opts in to receive marketing. Sequences are anchored to a real event, like a sale, a seasonal offer, or a product launch. That way, messages are sent relative to that date rather than relative to when someone joins an SMS subscriber list.
Are text message Sequences TCPA-compliant?
Yes, as long as you have opt-in consent from your contacts before texting them. Text Request helps you manage consent and compliance as part of your text messaging workflow.
