Your MobileCONNECT Inbox is the place to view, manage, and reply to, inbound messages.
When a User sends a text message to your business it appears in the Dashboard Inbox. This allows you to respond to messages from any desktop PC.
Simply open your Dashboard to the Inbox and let it run in the background. Your computer will audibly ring every 7 seconds whenever a new message arrives.
MobileCONNECT allows you to send unlimited In-App messages absolutely free.
In-App messages can be sent with Push Notification so that Users are notified of the new message regardless if they have the CONNECTLocal App open or closed.
Be sure to encourage your new Subscribers to download the CONNECTLocal app so they can access all the features in their community.
The keyword signup allows Users to join your VIP List by texting your Keyword to either 844-307-3500 or 866-866-7109.
For example, if you were a pizza shop your keyword might be “PIZZA”. Whenever a User texts the word PIZZA to 844-307-3500 or 866-866-7109 they are automatically added to your VIP list.
New Subscribers are auto-sent your custom “Welcome Message” and are also invited to download the CONNECTLocal app. When Subscribers download the app they receive better access to their community and you are able to send them in-app messages for FREE!
As much as we would like to service our customers 24 hours a day, we all need to sleep.
The After-Hours Autoresponder automatically sends your custom “after-hours” message whenever a customer tries to reach you outside your business hours.
The After-Hours Message provides an immediate response letting customers know you will be getting back to them on the next business day.
There will be times during the course of the work day that you will be unable to immediately respond to new customer messages.
In those cases, you can set the “Pause” feature to manage your incoming messages and automatically send Users a custom “Unavailable” message. Your custom message let’s users know you have received their message and you intend to reply back soon.
Reasons we can’t text most businesses include business owners do not want to give out their personal phone number or carry two different phones.
MobileCONNECT keeps your personal phone number private. When you send customers a text message it is processed through our system and delivered from a phone number in our pool. When the User responds, our system keeps track and relays the message back to you.
This allows you to receive and send messages without revealing your personal number
As a MobileCONNECT business your company will be listed in the category of your choice inside the business directory of the CONNECTLocal App.
Your FREE listing allows you to create a business profile with your logo, images, hours of business, social media accounts, company descriptions, Google map results and promotion of 2 special offers.
A Dedicated Text Line allows your business to receive inbound text messages from any text capable phone, from anywhere in the nation.
Include your Dedicated Text Number on your website, social media or any other digital or print advertising platforms so customers know your company can receive inbound text messages.
Inbound messages are displayed inside your Dashboard’s Inbox and can be forwarded to your or your staff’s cell phone.
The Staff Scheduling feature allows you to direct the SMS Relay to deliver incoming messages to a variety of different staff’s cell phones, throughout the day.
You can enter different individuals with assigned time blocks for when they are responsible for managing incoming messages.
MobileCONNECT Platinum Users receive Tier One featured placement at the TOP of their category inside the CONNECTLocal business directory.
Featured placement is first-come, first-serve and ordered by date of enrollment with position ranking locked for life. This means the earlier you upgrade, the closer to the top your listing will appear.
