With our integrations and open API, you can sync your contacts from other sources to Textline. Some of our customers have synced their CRM or EHR data, for example.
You can also easily store preferred languages for each contact in our Address Book. This field helps you and your team ensure you’re reaching out in the language that is best fit for each contact.
When a contact replies with messages like STOP, END, or UNSUBSCRIBE, they are marked as unreachable in the Address Book. This helps you comply with laws like the Telephone Consumer Protection Act that require a way for contacts to stop getting messages at any time.
Don’t stress about confirming consent with a Textline Pro Plan. You can confirm your contacts’ SMS opt-in preferences when you turn on Contact Consent. Check the consent status of a contact by looking at their information in the Address Book or sidebar widget. The status will show whether or not the contact has confirmed consent, as well as the date and time.
You can also search for non-consented contacts with our advanced search function. Advanced search can also build lists to export non-consented contacts or contacts that say no to SMS messages.
Textline makes it easy for you to add contacts. You can add an individual contact or conduct a mass contact upload to the Address Book. For the individual contact add, you manually add it to the Address Book by clicking the “New Contact” button.
For the mass import, you upload a CSV file. Here are the steps:

Managing your contact list is simple with Textline. Ensure your SMS subscriber list is clean, accurate, and compliant. That way, you can always ensure your texts are getting to the right person.
