The do-not-contact list holds the email addresses and numbers that nothing is ever sent to from VOBIX.
Add someone from their card
- Open the lead. Find Conversation.
- Press Do not email this address or Do not text this number.
- The card now says the address is on the list, and the reply box for it is gone.
Add someone from the list
- Open Business settings, then Do not contact.
- Choose Email or Text messages.
- Type the address or the number. Add a note if you like.
- Press Add to the list.
Nothing is sent to them when you add them.
Take someone off the list (owners)
- Open Do not contact.
- Press Allow again beside the address.
- Press Yes, allow it again.
Good to know
- A client who writes STOP or unsubscribe is added by itself. The list shows "They asked to stop".
- Email and text are separate. Someone who asked not to be texted can still be emailed.
- VOBIX refuses the message for everyone, whoever tries to send it.
- A number is the same number however it is written. (415) 555-0188, 415.555.0188, +1 415 555 0188 and (415) 555-0188 x12 are one number. An extension does not get past the list.
- The list keeps the full number, with its country: +14155550188. A text is sent to that same full number, so the list and the send can never disagree.
- A phone field must hold one number. Two numbers in one box, letters, or a slash cannot be added to the list. VOBIX says "That does not look like a phone number." Type one number.
- Which numbers VOBIX understands today: United States, Canada and the other countries that share their numbering plan, written the usual way. Any other country: type the number with a plus sign and its country code, like +44 20 7946 0018.
- Field staff do not see this page. It holds addresses of clients that are not theirs. A card that is theirs still says in its timeline when its address went onto the list.
- The list shows who added each address, and when.
