Adding components

When you are creating a new campaign, you can stack components to build a messaging stream that encourages user participation and drives engagement, increases revenue, and improves the general customer experience.

Components

The following components are available for your Waterfall campaigns:

Component	Task
Age verification	Validate a mobile user's age before subscribing to a campaign with age restrictions.
Campaign duration	Set specific start and end dates during which your campaign can send and receive messages.

Post to URL	Send data, including information on a user's mobile device, service provider, and message content, to a third-party service.
Send message	Send an SMS message to a mobile user and, optionally, add them to the subscriber list for a campaign.
Subscription	Add a mobile user to the subscriber list for a campaign. For more information, see Setting up opt-in messages.
Sweepstakes	Add a sweepstakes contest, with the winner determined by a random drawing at the end of the contest.
Tag metadata	For a mobile number that sends an incoming message, add a metadata value to the profile.

Continue adding messages to your campaign, or return to the Campaigns table:
