Tap-to-join links provide a convenient way for people to opt in to receive your text messages. When people on mobile devices tap on a tap-to-join link, their device will populate a text message with a specific keyword. Then, they simply send the text to subscribe. If the person is not on a mobile device, you can define a fallback url to send them to a specific webpage instead.
Use a tap-to-join link when you advertise in social media posts and emails to provide a seamless subscriber experience.
Note:
You must create at least one keyword before making a tap-to-join link.
Create a Tap-to-Join Link
- From the SlickText Dashboard, click on Tools.
- Once you’re on the Tools page, click Tap-to-Join Links.
- Once on the Tap-to-Join Link page, click Create Link.
- Enter a name. Don’t worry, this name will only be seen by you.
- Then select a keyword.
- Add a non-mobile fallback URL If someone who is not using a mobile device (for example, they are on a laptop) clicks on this link, it will direct them to this webpage.
- Click Save.
Note:
Before creating a tap-to-join link, make sure to review the contact behavior for the keyword you’re planning to use.
