Managing Automations in StreetText and The FUB Integration
Please note that StreetText Ads come with prebuilt automations that send email and text messages. Depending on your preference you may want StreetText to send some automated emails and messages or none at all and manage those in your FUB actions plans. Or you may wish to have a hybrid.
Turn Off All Automations:
Navigate to the ads page in your StreetText account.
Select the ad and edit its automations.
Disable the entire automation when no automatic processes are needed. Note: Disabling automations halts all related actions, such as tagging leads automatically.
Turn Off Specific Emails and SMS:
Modify automations to stop only specific email and SMS actions, leaving other functionalities intact.
This ensures tagging remains active while avoiding redundant or conflicting messages.
Happy texting!
