Give every campaign a reply owner and stop conditions. Check received inquiries separately from message delivery and website visits. Consent and texting rules apply. Use the [TCPA consent-evidence brief](/articles/tcpa-consent-evidence-agent-lead-form) with your attorney and messaging provider before approving enrollment or messages. Have them resolve the rules for your business, recipients, technology, and proposed contact. The campaign plan below is an editorial recommendation. It supplies a website and operations brief, rather than legal wording, a sending schedule, or a claim about your provider's capabilities. ## Choose the buyer or seller question before writing a text Start with what the recipient has asked to receive. Describe that purpose in the campaign brief. Keep a requested property reply, appointment information, and later promotional messages identifiable for the legal and provider review. Choose a destination that supplies the promised answer. Use this worksheet to define the page before approving the message. | Proposed campaign purpose | Website destination to prepare | Inquiry the page should support | | --- | --- | --- | | Seller preparation information | Maintained pre-listing guide with a clear description of your service | A question about preparing the visitor's property | | Local market update | Dated market page with sources, geography, and an explanation of its limits | A request to discuss the visitor's home or search | | Buyer property update | Approved property page with current details and a visible contact route | A question that retains the property reference | | Buyer preparation information | Buyer guide with the next step and responsible contact | A request for a buyer conversation | Use expressed property interests and requested topics when proposing separate groups. Give your broker the audience criteria and page wording to review together. Do not promise a valuation, appointment, property availability, or report that the destination cannot provide. Assign an update owner before including changing property or market information. ## Make website enrollment a documented handoff Have your attorney and messaging provider approve the enrollment process. Give the website builder their approved wording, visitor action, policy destinations, and evidence requirements. Use the consent-evidence brief for the detailed specification. Keep the inquiry and enrollment outcomes visible in the proposed design. Ask the builder to demonstrate what happens when someone requests help while declining optional marketing. Specify a usable contact route for that person. Prepare an enrollment handoff record with the exact form URL, approved version, receiving system, campaign purpose, and responsible administrator. Require a demonstration of how the receiving system retrieves the approved evidence for a test record. As an operating rule for this plan, hold contacts with missing or unresolved permission evidence out of marketing. Have the reviewer decide how existing contacts become eligible. Do not use a stored phone number as your eligibility decision. Ask the provider to identify any registration or account prerequisites for the proposed setup. Record who handles them. Keep website acceptance separate from the provider's permission to use its messaging service. ## Write a campaign brief that names the destination and the stops Prepare this record before asking anyone to configure a campaign. Resolve the blank cells with the account owner and provider. | Brief field | Decision to record | | --- | --- | | Audience | Approved enrollment source, purpose, and eligibility evidence | | Message | Approved sender identity, question addressed, invitation, and provider-reviewed wording | | Destination | Exact maintained page and the answer visible before the contact request | | Timing | Reviewed schedule, event trigger, time-zone handling, and expiry | | Replies | Receiving account, person checking it, and absence coverage | | Exclusions | How the selected setup checks withdrawals, unresolved permission, duplicates, and paused records | | Stops | What ends or pauses the campaign, who acts, and how the decision is recorded | | Reporting | Separate records for sending, delivery, replies, website visits, and received inquiries | Choose the first campaign around a page you can maintain. Agree on its review date and responsible person. Leave later campaigns unconfigured until their own purposes and destinations are ready. For a property update, make changed availability a review trigger. For an appointment message, require a cancellation or rescheduling handoff. When a recipient starts a conversation, assign a person to review any remaining scheduled marketing. Treat these as proposed operating controls. Ask the provider to demonstrate the controls it supports. Keep unsupported behavior unresolved rather than assuming a campaign label implements it. ## Connect withdrawals and pauses to every sending route Give the administrator an inventory of the campaign tool, CRM connection, scheduled messages, and manual sending routes. Ask how each route receives the approved contact restrictions. Have the provider and attorney approve the opt-out process and public instructions. Request a controlled demonstration of the resulting suppression behavior. Define who investigates a restriction that fails to reach a connected tool. Include repeat enrollment in that review. Ask the administrator to show what happens when a previously suppressed test contact submits another website inquiry. Require the approved restriction to remain inspectable. Leave any new marketing eligibility decision with the designated reviewer. For this plan, pause affected marketing while restriction handling is unresolved. Preserve an owner and correction record. Keep an ordinary buyer or seller question available to the person responsible for answering it. These are conservative campaign acceptance recommendations. They do not replace the legal and provider review of your actual contact process. ## Measure the route through to a received inquiry Request the provider's definitions for its sending and delivery reports. Twilio, for example, defines `sent` as acceptance by the nearest upstream carrier. Its `delivered` status records delivery confirmation from the carrier and, where available, the handset. [Twilio message-status definitions, checked 2026.10.14](https://www.twilio.com/docs/messaging/api/message-resource#message-status-values). Use those definitions for a Twilio report only. Ask another provider for its own documentation. Require separate evidence before labeling a delivery as a page visit, reply, or buyer or seller inquiry. If your approved measurement setup uses Google Analytics, agree on consistent campaign parameters for the destination links. Google's documentation describes `utm_source`, `utm_medium`, and `utm_campaign` and shows their values in Traffic acquisition reports. [Google Analytics campaign-URL guidance, checked 2026.10.14](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/10917952?hl=en). Use campaign labels rather than personal details in the proposed URLs. Ask the maintainer to check the link after any redirect. Define what source information the receiving inquiry record should retain, subject to the approved privacy setup. Keep the review sheet explicit: messages attempted, provider delivery results, replies, recorded campaign visits, and received website inquiries. Leave unavailable figures marked unavailable. Define duplicate handling before totaling inquiries across website and text replies. Judge the website against its agreed task. Require the recipient to find the submitted question and relevant page or property context. Record attribution gaps without assigning them to a campaign by assumption. ## Accept the page and campaign handoff separately Agree on synthetic records and contact details you control. Test the website path without activating marketing. Any message or suppression demonstration needs a separate, agreed provider test. | Check to request | Evidence to retain | | --- | --- | | Enrollment handoff | Test record connected to the approved form version and review decision | | Marketing declined | Received inquiry with the declined choice preserved | | Destination on a phone | Correct page, current answer, usable contact action, and recorded device conditions | | Website inquiry | Matching question received by the agreed person with page or property context | | Reply responsibility | Named recipient demonstrates access to the agreed receiving account | | Withdrawal and repeat inquiry | Provider-approved test shows the expected restrictions and retained inquiry | | Campaign pause or expiry | Administrator demonstrates the agreed behavior in the test setup | Record expected and observed results separately. Give each failure a correction owner. Repeat the affected check before accepting it. A passed website test establishes the observed path at that time. Keep messaging approval, campaign operation, and later results in their own records. ## Bring the website destination into the whole website fix The SMS campaign brief names enrollment requirements, website destinations, and people responsible for replies. Use [whole website fix: SMS campaign destinations](/for/real-estate) for the landing-page defects. The whole website fix excludes continuing operations, including message administration.
