Email & SMS integrations

The channels that live or die on a defensible consent record.

Email and texting are the highest-value channels a campaign runs, and the two most exposed if consent evidence is thin. This is the category Ballot Signal exists for. Every record we hand to an email or SMS platform carries a consent timestamp, a consent version string, the exact page URL where consent was captured, and the consent categories the visitor granted — the record your vendor, your carrier, and your lawyer will all ask about.

Email & SMS: questions

Does Ballot Signal make a number legal to text?

No. Nothing does. What we do is capture and preserve the consent evidence in the form these platforms and carriers expect — express written consent language, timestamp, source URL, and IP — so the consent you actually collected is provable. If you did not collect consent to text, we will not manufacture one.

Will our SMS platform still send its own opt-in confirmation?

Usually yes, and that is by design. Several political SMS platforms send a confirmation message to any number added through their API unless the number arrives on a partner path carrying verified consent. Assume double opt-in is the default until your platform tells you otherwise, in writing.

Can we suppress people who are already on our list?

Yes. Ballot Signal deduplicates before it pushes, using the same lowercased-email-hash key across every destination, so an existing subscriber is updated rather than re-added and re-confirmed.
