Create an auto-response Keyword Campaign

A keyword campaign can be used to send an auto-response message when your audience texts your keyword. This auto-response message can be used to share a website link, deliver a coupon, or send an image.


Step 1 | Creating a Keyword Campaign

1. Click the Create Campaign button. 

2. Click Create a Blank Campaign to start a campaign from scratch.

3. Click Create Campaign & Customize. 


Step 2 | Adding Keywords

1. Click Add Keyword. 

2. Enter a Keyword. Keywords are what customers will text to a specific phone number to start capturing data or to join your text lists. You can enter multiple keywords per campaign. For example, if you want to use different key-phrases your audience will text or different phone number to join the same campaign.

3. Select the phone number people should text your keyword. We recommend using a 5-digit short code number for your keyword. This is a 5-digit number which is easier for your audience to remember and to type. You can also link your keyword to a local number.

4. Click Create Keyword.


Step 3 | Edit the Final Text Message

Click on the Final Text Message box. This will launch the message editor where you can customize the auto-response message that your audience will receive when texting your keyword. You can add a website URL or an image to this message if you wish.

You can add your audience member to a Textiful text list or you can select an action to trigger once an individual has completed the message flow.
