Texts aren't sending

Short answer

The most common reason is that your texting registration is still being approved, which usually takes 7 to 14 days after your intake form. Other causes: the contact opted out, the number is a landline, or the message was filtered by the carrier.

Check these first

  1. Texting registration is still pending.

    Check: When you finished your intake form.

    Fix: Approval usually takes 7 to 14 days. Calls and the AI receptionist work the whole time. Call us if it's been longer than 14 days.

  2. The contact replied STOP.

    Check: The contact's conversation in Conversations.

    Fix: You can't text them again unless they text you first or give permission. This is the law, not a setting.

  3. The number is a landline.

    Check: The contact's number type in their conversation.

    Fix: Call or email them instead.

  4. The carrier filtered it.

    Check: The message shows a failed status in Conversations.

    Fix: Avoid link shorteners, all caps, and words like "free" or "winner." Use your full website link.
