Find an Opt-In Method That Works Best for You

To comply with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, you must get consent to text your customers before you send your first message. Textedly offers three ways to do it, let’s dive into each one.

Keyword Opt-Ins

One of the most popular ways to collect consent is to have customers text in a specific word to opt into your text messaging program. Text keywords are one of the best methods of opt-in, especially with the iOS 26 enhanced filtering. A great example is to encourage customers to text JOIN to your phone number in order to receive an SMS coupon, discount code, or other freebie.
‍
Some examples of relevant SMS keywords include:

Restaurants: Text MENU to [phone number] be the first to know about new menu items and seasonal specials.

Real estate: Text HOME to [phone number] to get text message alerts when new homes hit the market in your ideal neighborhood.

Gyms: Text NEW to [phone number] to get an exclusive free day pass to test out our gym.

Webform Opt-Ins

Another Textedly opt-in method is to get website visitors to subscribe to your SMS program by filling in a website form. Textedly’s webform is completely customizable – you can even add your logo!

To create your custom webform, you just need to fill in the form fields:

Your Textedly Phone Number

Company Name

Your Use Case

Logo (optional)

QR Code Opt-Ins

Textedly also enables you to create a QR code that customers can scan. You can even customize the QR code with the color you want.

You can put QR codes in various places to get more opt-ins, including:

In stores: Post the QR code on your door, window, or near the register to capture opt-ins from in store visitors.

Receipts: Add the QR code to printed receipts or invoices to collect opt-ins post purchase.

Paper handouts or booths: Collect opt-ins from events like conferences or direct mail ads.

Menus or tables: Let guests join your list while they’re waiting for food, drinks, or friends to arrive.

Product packaging or thank you cards: Let customers opt in right from the packaging or via an included thank you card.

Already Have Consent to Text? Just Upload Your Contacts

If you already have a list of consented subscribers? You can easily upload that list to Textedly. All you need is a CSV file to upload that list to Textedly.
