Once you've established contact with a lead, sometimes they prefer to switch to SMS over phone calls. Revenue.io supports sending and receiving SMS messages through RingDNA Communications Hub.
There are multiple ways to initiate an SMS using RingDNA.

Dial Pad
After keying a number into the dial pad in RingDNA, you can click "SMS" to initiate an SMS message to that number.

Message History
Or you can go to your Messages tab. This screen is useful for viewing your recent messages and locating a conversation.
SMS Opt-Out
If a prospect wishes to cease SMS communication with a Revenue user, they must send the SMS "STOP" to the user's RingDNA Dialer to opt-out of SMS.
Once this message is received, Revenue will automatically mark the Revenue.io custom Salesforce field "SMS Opt Out" as True, which will block any further text messages from being sent to the prospect.
Similarly, if a rep or integration user manually checks this box in Salesforce, then the RingDNA Dialer will also block outbound SMS. Note: If a prospect has texted "STOP" without texting "START", SMS will still be blocked even if this field is unchecked.
The SMS opt-out field is available on the Lead and Contact object and is available on base package versions 1.23 and above.
