SMS marketing

SMS keyword replies (STOP, HELP, YES)

When customers receive your SMS messages, they can reply with certain keywords to manage their subscription. Firepush processes these replies automatically.

Unsubscribe keywords

If a customer replies with any of these keywords, they are immediately unsubscribed from your SMS messages:

  • STOP, END, QUIT, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE
  • French: ARRET

A confirmation message is sent automatically to let them know they have been unsubscribed. This is required by TCPA regulations.

Help keyword

If a customer replies HELP, INFO, or AIDE (French), they receive a message with your store information and support details.

Double opt-in confirmation

For markets that require double opt-in (such as Canadian short codes), customers confirm their subscription by replying with:

  • YES, Y, GO, OK, OKAY, K, SURE, YEP, YEAH

Good to know

  • Keyword processing is automatic — you do not need to take any action
  • Unsubscribes are applied per store — if a customer unsubscribes from your store, they may still receive SMS from other stores they subscribed to
  • Unsubscribed customers will not receive any further SMS from your Firepush account
  • Every SMS you send through Firepush automatically includes unsubscribe instructions, as required by TCPA compliance
