What is a keyword?
A Keyword is the first word of a given text message. For example, if you are asked to text XSMS to 80806, then XSMS is the Keyword. Likewise, if you are requested to text PROPERTY SE123 tot 60066, then PROPERTY is the Keyword. Currently, we operate a number of generic keywords, and more are planned. Please contact us, and one of our representatives will advise you on the alternatives available for your business, product and/or services.
People join your community by texting a keyword provided by you. People text keywords to your shortcode – 01234, for example – to join lists or trigger an auto-response message. Examples: Text OPTIT (OPTIT is the keyword) to 46786 (46786 is the shortcode) to join the Opt It mobile VIP group. Text SAMPLE (sample is the keyword) to 46786 (46786 is the shortcode) to have an auto response message sent back to your mobile phone. Every Opt It client has their own keyword(s) for creating their unique mobile programs. Keywords can also have an unlimited number of sub-keywords and interests allowing clients to segment the members in their mobile community.
