Compliance notes

Rules this channel lives by

General information to discuss with your compliance team, not legal advice.

TCPA

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act restricts automated texts and calls without prior express consent. The suite only texts opted-in contacts and logs the consent.

Carrier rules

Unregistered business texting is filtered by US carriers; registration and content rules (opt-out language, no prohibited content) apply.

Quiet hours

No texts at night in the recipient’s time zone; some states set stricter windows.

Opt-out

STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE and similar replies are honored immediately across the account.

  • Declines rate, approval and advice questions politely
  • Offers a specific time with a specific LO
  • Saves a summary to the CRM

    Texts go only to people who opted in on a form, by texting you first or verbally on a recorded call where your process allows, with the consent saved.

  3. Stage 3 of 4

    Converse

    The AI answers replies, asks follow-up questions and offers times to talk.

  4. Stage 4 of 4

    Book and log

    Bookings, opt-outs and transcripts land on the contact; the LO can take over at any time.

Questions about SMS answered

  1. YouIs it legal to text mortgage leads?
    Funnel Suite team

    Texting leads who gave prior express consent is common practice, but the TCPA and carrier rules are strict about consent, content and opt-outs. The suite captures consent, honors opt-outs and registers your texting with carriers. Ask your counsel about your specific process; this is not legal advice.

  2. YouWhat is A2P 10DLC?
    Funnel Suite team

    A2P 10DLC is the US carrier registration system for businesses sending texts from standard 10-digit numbers. Unregistered business traffic is heavily filtered. We handle registration during onboarding.

  3. YouHow long does registration take?
    Funnel Suite team

    It is set by carriers and their vetting partners; it typically takes days to a few weeks. We start it in week one.

  4. YouCan the AI text people who never opted in?
    Funnel Suite team

    No. The suite blocks texts to contacts without recorded consent.

  5. YouWhat happens when someone replies STOP?
    Funnel Suite team

    They are opted out immediately across the account, and the AI will not text them again unless they opt back in.

  6. YouCan LOs text from their own number?
    Funnel Suite team

    Yes, each LO can have a local number registered under your company’s campaign.

  7. YouWhat does texting cost?
    Funnel Suite team

    The AI and inbox are part of the AI Conversation Desk. Carrier message and registration fees are passed through at cost.

  8. YouCan the AI send rate alerts by text?
    Funnel Suite team

    Rate-watch alerts go to the LO, not the borrower. The LO decides what to send using approved templates with any required disclosures.
