Public Utility Opt-out flow

This is one of the flows the company uses to automate processes. This flow allows a user to opt-out, ask for help, or subscribe to messages. A user texts in and receives a specific response based on their message. Their request is then sent to an internal database. This automation allows customers to easily manage their contact preferences without having to directly speak with the company, which also saves the company time and money.

Key actions included:

Inbound SMS: Prepares the flow for an incoming message.

Switch: As a control action, Switch determines the path of the user based on the message that they text in.

  • If the user’s message contains STOP, END, QUIT, CANCEL, or UNSUBSCRIBE, they are sent a message about being unsubscribed to messages.
  • If the user’s message contains HELP, they are texted a number to call.
  • If the user’s message contains UNSTOP, they are re-subscribed to messages.

External Web Call: Sends the information to an internal database.
