Have you ever wondered if the phone numbers in your Contacts list are accurate, and will indeed receive your text messages?
Well, we are excited to introduce PhoneCheckr™ - the latest addition to Salesmsg, that helps you determine exactly which U.S. phone numbers are good for texting.
How it Works
Using PhoneCheckr™ is easy! Simply navigate to your Organization Settings
and locate the PhoneCheckr box. Once the box has been located, toggle the feature from off to on:
Once the feature is toggled on, the user is presented with a prompt to alert them of the cost associated with validating their contact's phone numbers. Additionally, there is a checkbox that determines if we look up all the contacts in the account now or only new contacts from here on out.
Heads up: When you enable Phonecheckr on the 'Organization Settings' page and have an integration connected, like HubSpot, Salesmsg will lookup all contacts in HubSpot to provide you full granularity on your contacts who can and should be contacted via SMS.
Viewing contacts by phone number type
Salesmsg saved segments offers a vast amount of criteria one can leverage to dial in on the right contacts. Phone type is the latest addition to the sophisticated contact filtering Salesmsg users can do.
Use the filter modal to search for the phone number type you'd like to save a segment for.
The filters can be adjusted for "contact fields", "geo-location", "activity", and "custom fields" as well as many more options to help you find the most prudent contacts.
Phone Checkr Access by User Role
Take full control of your team's access to the Phone Checker feature with our latest update! Now, administrators can specify who can use Phone Checker through the "Roles and Permissions" settings.
With PhoneCheckr costing $0.01 per Contact to perform validation, now you can enable PhoneCheckr or disable it for your users.
