GDPR Compliant Bulk SMS Marketing – Part 4 of 4 – API Opt-in and Opt-Out for GDPR

Sendmode’s Developer API for Bulk SMS delivery is one of the most robust and easy to integrate into the internet. With GDPR we have added the ability to both OPT-IN and OPTOUT using the API.

OPT-IN via the API

Import member command has two new variables optinconsent, returnedresponse.

  • optinconsent – Label for reference to where consent came from.
  • returnedresponse – Optional for users who want to have a message forwarded to them when an Opt-in happens.
