SMS Credit Usage

We’re looking at some of the Klaviyo integrations related to SMS, and currently run both campaigns and flows using SMS messaging, so I was curious if there is any report type that can show by week, just like ‘total received SMS’, of ‘total SMS credits used’ by each message so I can see where the volume of our plan is being allocated and adjust accordingly?

Is it possible to send SMS subscribers a .vcf contact card so that they can store our contact info into their phones easily? I have seen this done by some accounts with Klaviyo such as robingolf.com but I cannot seem to figure out how to set it up. thanks!

How can i get existing profiles to submit phone number

I want to start incorporating SMS into my Klaviyo and need to grow the SMS list. I plan on targeting existing profiles with sms signup forms but I want to ramp up this effort by including something like a footer in my campaigns that informs my recipients to sign up for SMS but I don't know the instructions to put there Do I tell them to go to my site and to see the form (this sounds dumb) or is there a code they can send to the phone to signup for SMS. Any tips to help me that I don't know about? Thank you!!!

SMS Deliverability - Device Disconnected

I have an SMS flow launching today and I entered myself into the flow last night to test it. I received my opt-in messages, but the first SMS message failed to deliver due to "Device Disconnected" and I'm in the "Waiting" status for the second message.My device is definitely still connected and I need help troubleshooting so this doesn't happen to my customers who opt-in today.

How to collect names and email addresses from SMS-only profiles?

We have many SMS-only profiles on our SMS list. We would like for them to have names and emails so we can reach out to them if they win one of our contests.  I first thought of doing this with a text-response survey that fills in these profile fields one at a time. But it looks like there’s no way to use an event variable as a profile property. Also, the sequencing would be difficult, as the “sent text” event trigger does not seem to be able to filter based on what text they replied to.  Then I thought of sending them a manage preferences link, where they can type in their name and email in some form fields. But the {% manage_preferences_link %} does not work in SMS.  So how can this be done?

What happens when a customer responds back to my SMS?

As of right now, when a customer responds to one of your SMS messages, this response will register under the Sent SMS metric. This will show in their profile with the response the customer has sent.You can click on the timestamp to view additional details about the message.Our feature roadmap includes a built-in SMS inbox, where you will be able to see all incoming SMS messages in one place. For now, you can view all Sent SMS events in Metrics > Sent SMS.

Allow users to select time of day to receive sms?

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to allow user to select the time of day they want to receive SMS messages? I’ve thought of some manual workarounds to accomplish this, but they’re all a little clunky. Thanks!

Why doesn't klaviyo receive SMS consent from Facebook or Instagram etc.?

Hi all,I have about 40k subscribers with active phone numbers awaiting me to target and send sms campaigns to them. However, only about 90+ of them has consented to receive my sms according to Klaviyo.Is there a workaround or do I have to send an email campaign to let those customers agree to receive sms through Klaviyo again?

Absorbed SMS List

Hello, One of my clients has bought out another business and absorbed their contacts. Of these contacts they are SMS numbers that had previously opted into the business’ SMS marketing. Are we able to then send SMS messages to these absorbed contacts after updating profile properties to “consented”?

SMS Organization Prefix - Does it have to be the company name?

Hi Klaviyo community!One of my clients wants to try sending SMS where instead of the normal organizational prefix (example: Company name: Here’s my SMS message) they want to use their names instead. I looked through Klaviyo documentation and could only find that it is highly recommended to use the organization prefix to help people identify who the text is from, but my client is really keen to try using their names instead (they are using SMS to build community). I thought we might try with an MMS where the image has the company logo on it (so it’s clear who the message is from) - are there any reasons why it would be a terrible idea to use a name instead of the organization prefix? (example: Person’s name: Here’s my SMS message) Thanks for any advice!

How do I validate SMS consent to Klaviyo?

My SMS flow is not sending due to the SMS consent requirement.I’m generating leads through FB Lead ads and was wondering how to prove to Klaviyo that the people who are opting in actually approve to get SMS.Do I simply add the phrase “By submitting your mobile number you consent to receiving marketing SMS messages from us”? to the lead form itself?Would Klaviyo accept this and release the SMS Flow to the leads?

How to know about how many sms I have sent out after the customers flll in the sms opt-in?

I have set up a sign up form which is multi-step email & sms, and for the sms opt-in i set a list “A” for them to submitted to. So my question1 is how can i know about how many messages and emails i sent out already? since it is not a flow or a campaign, i couldnt find out where to check the data.2, Will they be shown in list “A” as long as they reply my message? Or they will only be shown in the list “A”  by replying “yes” “y” “stop” “help”.3, What if they put in their phone number in the opt-in session, but they dont reply me anything when they receive the message for confirming signing up?

can I post a link to get more SMS signups

Hi- another store posted a link on their instagram feed for customers to click on link to sign up for SMS alerts.  Right now i don’t know of any way other than my newsletter signup on our website for people to add their info.  We have thousands of instagram followers so i was hoping to easily get more SMS subscribers by posting a link so they can directly sign up that way instead of having to log into our website and going through the motions of the newletter signup. TIA

SMS in Japan

Hi Klaviyo community,I am wondering if it is at all possible to use SMS functionalities of Klaviyo in Japan.  The reason I ask this question because I noticed the article regarding the SMS relating to specific countries US, Canaca, UK, and Australia and therefore I am guessing Japan is out of scope as far as SMS functionalities are concerned. Thanks.
