Tip: List name is meant to be a user-friendly identifier. (e.g. "Staff Alert" or "September Promo")

Auto-Subscribe Keywords

A great way to build lists is to promote a subscription keyword to your contacts. When an Auto-Subscribe Keyword is received from a contact, that contact will be automatically added to the contact list.

Tip: To generate an auto-reply to a contact subscribing to the list via keyword, utilize the "Auto-Reply Keyword" on the Canned Response feature, setting the keyword to the same as your list subscription keyword.
