How SMS opt-in works

This page documents the opt-in flow for SMS messages sent by CrewLeadPro on behalf of Bindingstone LLC. Carriers, A2P 10DLC reviewers, and toll-free verification reviewers can use this page as a reference for the consent flow, the disclosure language, and sample message content. The actual opt-in happens inside the authenticated CrewLeadPro dashboard, but every step is mirrored here with the exact language we display.

The opt-in flow, step by step

Step 1 / Invite

An admin invites the contractor to a tenant workspace

New CrewLeadPro accounts are invite-only. An existing admin (or CrewLeadPro itself for a brand-new tenant) sends an invite email. The recipient clicks the invite link and lands on a public Accept Invite page. No SMS is sent at this stage. The phone field on this page is optional and is captured only if the user explicitly enters a mobile number and checks the SMS opt-in box (Step 2).

Step 2 / Explicit consent

The contractor enters a phone number and checks an SMS opt-in box

On the contractor's /account/notifications page, the contractor sees the form below. The checkbox starts unchecked. Checking it is the consent action. The opt-in button stays disabled until the consent box is checked AND a phone number is entered:

Messages are transactional notifications about new customer inquiries. Message frequency varies with my lead volume (typically 1-30 messages per month). Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. See our SMS Terms and Privacy Policy.' A disabled 'Opt in to SMS lead alerts' button appears below.

For machine readability, here is the exact consent text rendered above:

References shown below the checkbox (NOT part of the consent action): SMS Terms and Privacy Policy. Reviewing those is optional - checking the box only consents to receive the text messages described above. SMS consent is kept separate from acceptance of any other terms.

When the box is checked and the form submitted, CrewLeadPro stores a timestamped consent record on the user account (consent text, timestamp, IP address, user-agent) for audit purposes. The same flow runs during initial account onboarding (the Accept Invite page) so every user opting in to SMS has explicitly checked this box.

Step 3 / Confirmation

The contractor receives a one-time confirmation SMS

Immediately after opt-in, CrewLeadPro sends a single confirmation message to the consented number. The text is:

CrewLeadPro: You're now opted in to receive SMS lead alerts. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Msg & data rates may apply.
Step 4 / Lead alert messages

The contractor receives an SMS each time a new lead arrives

When a homeowner submits a contact form on the contractor's website, the beacon forwards the submission to CrewLeadPro, which routes a lead-alert SMS to the contractor. Sample production message:

CrewLeadPro: New lead for All American Concrete - John Smith, (555) 123-4567. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Msg & data rates may apply.
Step 5 / Opt-out and help

STOP, HELP, and START are honored automatically

Replies to any message are handled by the Twilio Advanced Opt-Out feature on the sending number:

  • STOP - immediate removal from the messaging program, single confirmation reply sent, no further messages until the user replies START.
  • HELP - automatic reply with program operator identity and the support email [email protected].
  • START - re-subscribes to the program after a previous STOP.
