Time Delays for Instant & Action Plan SMS

Commands for Instant SMS & Action Plan SMS

  • [15min] : 15 minute delay for SMS

  • [1hr] : 1 hr delay for SMS

  • [2hr] : 2 hour delay for SMS

  • If delay falls outside of business hours, the text will send the next business day at 9 am.

  • Perfect for the first marketing SMS in an Action Plan, set a delay to make it more realistic.

Advanced Time Commands for Action Plans

  • Add one of the following commands to your SMS Action Plans in place of the [SMS] command.

  • [11am]

  • [1pm]

  • [3pm]

  • [5pm]

  • [7pm]

  • Add a note with [delete] to stop a delayed message that has not yet sent or use the FUB Leadngage Embedded App delete drop down option in the sidebar.

STOP Commands for SMS

  • [delete] : Stops a delayed message that has not been sent OR use the FUB Leadngage Embedded App delete drop down option in the sidebar "delete SMS in queue".

    • Use case: 1) It's 10 am and you've talked to a lead but there is an 11 am message from an action plan set to send that you need to delete. 2) You set a 30 day delayed text but talk to them prior to that date and need to delete that text.

  • [DND] : Stops ALL future SMS messages from sending through the back end. If sent, your texts will still show in FUB & count towards your message credits, but will not process in the back end.

    • Use case: 1) Lead opts out of texts (pair with our OPT OUT Automation), stay compliant and use the [DND] command to prevent future marketing texts from reaching the lead. 2) You don't want lead to receive marketing texts from your Leadngage number (create automations to apply [DND] for certain new stages or tags)

Additional Leadngage FAQs & Tips

  • Emojis allowed: copy from other places to the note or FUB Embedded App. Action Plan builder has option for emojis in notes.

  • Merge Fields only work in Action Plan notes, merge fields do NOT work in manual notes or the Embedded App within Follow Up Boss.

  • Facebook & Instagram will only allow messages to be sent through our system if the user recently messaged you. Currently works for about 14 days if lead has responded.

  • ACTION PLANS: FUB adds automated action plan notes at 5 AM, replies and scheduled messages will convert to texts and sent at 9 AM unless you choose [now] in the action plan, we suggest this only for the first SMS when action plan is assigned otherwise the text will go out at 5 AM. **Note: You can set your timezone within Salesngage.

  • You will not be notified of pictures received in Follow Up Boss though any of the message options, but you can send and receive pictures in the Salesngage Conversations Inbox or Lead Connector App.

  • OPT OUT Language: When your first SMS to a lead is sent through an action plan, it must contain opt out language. If you do not include the word "stop" then we will add the phrase "If you'd rather not be texted, reply stop anytime."

TCPA: Keep Your Texts Compliant

How Leadngage Assists with TCPA

  • Opt Out: The first automated text sent using Leadngage must contain proper opt out language by adding the word stop to the first action plan message sent to a contact. If this is not added on the first delayed message, then our system will add the phrase “If you’d rather not be texted, just reply stop.” automatically.

  • Quiet Hours: Action Plan and Delayed Texts will wait to send until they’re in the 9 am - 8 pm time frame of your time zone. We have tightened up the legal quiet hours by an additional hour out of an abundance of caution and some leads may be from a bordering time zone.

  • Number Validation: The first time any number is texted through Leadngage the number is verified with Twilio for a $0.005 fee on your Twilio account. If it's a non-textable number (landline, does not exist, etc) then texts will not be sent saving you SMS costs.

More TCPA Resources

Disclaimer: Please note that this is for informational purposes only. It’s not meant to substitute for advice from qualified legal counsel. Please seek counsel prior to calling or texting your contacts. Generally, it's suggested that you always have express written consent to contact any leads. The guidelines are found here 47 CFR § 64.1200.

Mobile App (Optional)

The Lead Connector mobile app connects to your backend system of Leadngage (your Salesngage login).

NOTE: Messages sent by you in the Lead Connector App will not be recorded in Follow Up Boss and the "Leadngage Engaged" tag will not be removed to take open conversations out of your FUB Smart List.

The app can be used to call leads from your Leadngage Twilio number.
