1.3. Sending Text Messages
Sending text messages or using automations requires you to feed phone numbers or recipient names into our importer. We will store and use this data to show you campaign analytics and results including message delivery status, sent status, and in some cases whether the purchase resulted in a sale. If you decide to use our link shortener in text messages, we will collect information on whether the link was clicked or not and use it to display results in your analytics. Any other third party service that you may decide to use outside of the scope of spedia.com (third party link shortener, GA tracking, etc) you must refer to their specific third party policies which you will need to agree with. Upon sending the text messages, we will pass the data to our text message operator Twilio to fulfill their delivery. Information is being shared to Twilio only upon initializing a marketing campaign. If your recipients no longer wish to receive messages they have to reply to the message with STOP or reach out to us at the email address below so we can unsubscribe them successfully.

Sending text messages or using automations requires you to feed phone numbers or recipient names into our importer or directly initializing a campaign sent via the Text marketing section in your E-Commerce platform. We make a series of calls to the platform where we fetch recipient phone numbers and names where applicable. When using automations, we get the recipient’s First name, Telephone number and products in cart and use this data to send them a personalized text message, following the best practices guide available inside the Shopify app. We then use this data to display analytics as presented below. If you decide to use our link shortener in text messages, we will collect information on whether the link was clicked or not and use it to display results in your analytics.

We will also show clicks based on country and data that details the number of clicks (when using our native link shortener). If your recipients no longer wish to receive messages they have to reply to the message with STOP or reach out to us at the email address below so we can unsubscribe them successfully.
