Everything you need to know to send text messages from your AI agents — registration, consent, and best practices.

Text messaging compliance

A quick orientation to what it takes to text from your AI agent in the United States — and what we handle for you.

Before you send your first text message

Every message use case gets a category when we register it. Here's how to pick the right one.

Choosing the right campaign type

Every text message must go to someone who has explicitly agreed to receive it. Here's what valid consent looks like and what you need to keep on file.

Collecting and proving opt-in consent

One emoji can turn a 160-character message into a 70-character message. Here's how text message encoding works and how to avoid the trap.

Why emojis in texts can double your costs

Every recipient can stop messages at any time. Here's exactly how that works in 365 Agents — and what you don't have to build yourself.

How opt-outs work (we handle this for you)

Marketing SMS has stricter rules than regular messages. Here's what you need to know before launching a campaign.

Sending marketing text messages

Every brand has a daily sending limit to each mobile network. Here's what determines yours and how to grow it.

Understanding daily message limits

A plain-English summary of which businesses and message types we can support — and which we can't.
