Grow your contacts using compliant subscribe forms

Putting one of our subscribe forms on your website will allow you to collect contacts compliantly, obtain user consent, and grow your customer database securely.

After embedding a form on your website or blog, all the mobile phone numbers collected will be automatically added to your Textmagic contacts in the List of your choice. This enables you to send texts to anyone who has opted-in with just a few clicks.

Online subscribe form requirements

To comply with 10DLC, toll-free verification requirements and ensure proper consumer consent, as per the CTIA guidelines, the subscribe (opt-in) form must include two separate checkboxes:

• Consent for general text messages: This checkbox allows users to opt-in to receive informational, non-marketing messages such as service updates, notifications, and account-related messages.
• Consent for marketing text messages: A distinct and separate checkbox must be included for users to explicitly opt-in to promotional and marketing messages. This ensures compliance with TCPA and FCC regulations, which require express written consent for marketing communications.

Both checkboxes must be unchecked by default, and users should be able to update or revoke their consent at any time.
