  • Exclude Individual Phone Numbers - This area lists all phone numbers associated with the Customer record

    and provides a visual guide to what individual phone numbers have been excluded by either the Customer or the location user.

    . Here you can view or add exclusions applied to only specific numbers on the account. 
    Note: This portion is number-specific. It is possible to exclude one number in the Customer record and not others. The system will exclude the selected phone number and continue communicating with the other number(s) as normal, depending on what is selected in (B), (C), or (D).

    • (E) By Customer - This checkbox becomes selected if a Customer replied “Stop” to an inbound text. No user involvement is necessary. When selected, it will show the date and time the “Stop” message was received and will list the Customer’s name, further indicating it was Customer initiated.

      This area

      When checked, no automated communications will be sent to this number and you will be unable to manually send a text as well. You can still place manual calls to the number and if your collection workflow includes any manual calls, those will continue to be scheduled. This exclusion cannot be edited by the user
      Note: If the customer would like to remove the exclusion, they must reply "Start" to the Collection phone number they originally replied "Stop".

    • (F) By User -

      This can be checked in one of two ways. Customer text permissions are initially covered in the lease agreement process. Additionally, this can be manually selected by the user when talking with the Customer once they have an established record in the system.

      If requested by the customer, you can check here to exclude specific number(s) from communications. When a number is excluded, all texting is disabled (both auto an manual). No auto/robo calls will be made but you can still place manual calls to the number and if your collection workflow includes any manual calls, those will continue to be scheduled. 
      Note: Lead Exclusions do not carry over during the Move-in process. If there were exclusion set for the account when it was still a lead, those settings do not get automatically applied to the Customer record.
