i turned off the double opt in on klaviyo for sms, but i think its still doing it to my customers, i get the “you received a new sms from so and so’s number, and then it sends them the automated text that says send this to subscribe to reoccuring personalized marketing alerts from klaviyo library how can i disable this and then check to see if it worked cause they dont know what to send back, so they dont even subscribe lol HELP ME
As mentioned, this sort of behavior is often times caused by not fully setting up the source of where/how you’re collecting these SMS subscribers from. Particularly if you’re using a multi-step signup form or a click-to-text in an email.

Go to settings → SMS → Automations → and check under ‘keyword management’ - there should be a line item there that shows what is automatically sent when someone opts into your SMS program. If that isn’t it, scroll a little to ‘subscribe keywords’ or ‘subscribe links’ and see what your settings are there - you could also be using a subscribe link which does require you to have a keyword chosen for them to reply with, it’s not necessarily a double opt-in per se, but an extra step if you’re using that kind of link. I’ve actually subscribed to many, many companies’ SMS messages and I’d say a good 15% have the default Klaviyo SMS language still in their auto-response 😆
