What does the integration do?

The EveryAction integration allows you to automatically collect new SMS opt-ins from various online forms, such as surveys, donations, petitions, and more. This integration checks for new form submissions every minute, ensuring your contact list is always up to date. Before adding or updating a subscriber, the integration verifies that they have opted in to receive SMS messages. If SMS opt-in consent is confirmed, the contact is added or updated in your Tatango list.

You can map the following fields from EveryAction to Tatango to use for segmentation or personalizing your messages:

  • Campaign ID

  • City

  • Contacts Online Form ID

  • Date of Birth

  • Date Submitted

  • Email

  • First Name

  • Form ID

  • Form Name

  • Form Tracking ID

  • Last Name

  • Market Source

  • Sex

  • Source Code

  • State

  • VAN ID

  • Zip

Configuration

This process involves configuration in Tatango and EveryAction.

Prerequisite: Ensure you've configured your online forms to collect SMS Opt-In consent. You'll want to make sure mobile field and SMS Signup are both enabled. Also, make sure the SMS Signup default value is checked / set to true. This ensures that if the subscriber provides their mobile phone number, they are opted in. Lastly, makes sure to fill out the disclaimer language for SMS Signup.
