Manage SMS Consent in Unified Messaging
We manage consent to the SMS channel in Unified Messaging via communication subscriptions. Each SMS code is mapped to one or more communication subscriptions. When a recipient opts in to an SMS channel, they opt in to the communication subscriptions mapped to the SMS channel and code. If a recipient opts out of an SMS channel, they opt out of all communication subscriptions mapped to that SMS channel and code. Manage SMS consent and keywords for each connected number.
