Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

No, Trumpia has a strict opt-in subscription policy. The contact information you upload must come from your own customer database. In other words, only people who have voluntarily opted in may be a part of your distribution lists.

Go to Collect Contacts then Create A New Online Sign-Up Page.

Check the box for Facebook Sign-Up Page and complete all required fields.

Please note: In order to create a Facebook sign-up page, you must first have your Facebook account(s) connected to your Trumpia account. You can link your accounts by clicking on My Account and going to Social Networking Accounts.

In compliance with MMA regulations, when an individual opts in to a distribution list, the advertiser must provide an estimate of how many messages an individual will receive in a given month. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are fully compliant, so please be sure to check all relevant industry and carrier regulations.

This will not prevent you to send messages above this threshold value.

The subscriber will receive a text notification:

"Welcome! Msg data rates may apply. Get X# msg/mo. Reply HELP for help. STOP to Optout."

There are two general approaches to building your contact list.

Internet

• - Online Sign-Up Page (OSP)
• - Embedded Sign-Up Page (eOSP)
• - Facebook Widget

Mobile Keywords

• - Normal Type
• - Mobile Voting Type
• - Shuffle Responder Type

In creating a mobile keyword, the very last step would be selecting the frequency at which the auto-response message is sent to the contact after he/she texts the keyword to the short code. There are three options in this step.

1. a. Only once per mobile number: If a number is already on the distribution list attached to this keyword, they will not receive the auto-response message.
2. b. Only once every hour, day, week, month, or year: A customer can receive the auto-response message once every hour, day, week, month, or year, depending on which one you choose. For example, if you select every hour and a customer texts the keyword twice within one hour, that person will receive the auto-response message only once.
3. c. Every time: No matter how many times a customer texts the keyword, the auto-response message will be sent every time.

The possible reason a keyword does not work when you test it is that the last step was set to "Only once per mobile number." Again, if the number is already in the distribution list, that number will not receive the auto-response message. We suggest that if you are running a test, select "Every time" in the last step. Once testing is complete, you can go back into your keyword options and change the setting to Only once per mobile number.

When someone texts a keyword for the first time, two messages are sent: the "Welcome standard data rates may apply" message and the auto-response message that you created. The first message is required by MMA guidelines and our contract with our supported phone carriers. Because this message is required, it will not cost you any text credits. The "REPLY STOP to opt-out" instruction is required by law and therefore must appear on every message.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you are fully compliant, so please be sure to check all relevant industry and carrier regulations.

After completing the import certification, you will be able to import contacts using an Excel spreadsheet. First, please make sure the contact information is in the correct format. The first row will be the name of the column itself (i.e., "First Name", "Email", etc.). All subsequent rows will be a contact that you are wanting to import (i.e., Row 2 would be "John Smith", his email, mobile number, etc.), followed by the next contact, and so on. *Note: Please ensure that the mobile numbers do not have any special characters and spaces within the numbers. Only the 10-digit number is accepted.

Once the file is formatted, click Save As, and under Save As Type, choose CSV (comma delimited) format. Upload the contacts by going to Collect then Add/Import Contacts. Scroll down to Import Contacts and select the Distribution Lists then click Import.

A subscriber will be removed and blocked from a short code when they text STOP. Subscribers have two options to opt in again and remove the block. These options can be found under Collect > Keyword and Online Sign-up Tools.

2. 2. Online Signup Pages - a web form that can collect subscriber information. On the page Keyword and Online Sign-up Tools, scroll down to Online Signup Pages and click Create.

We have a variety of online sign-up pages.

• • A hosted sign-up page is available directly on a webpage that is provided by us. You will not need to have your own website or developer in order to use one of these, as you can create one directly from your account and have it available without further work.
• • An embedded online sign-up page can be placed on any website that supports HTML and iFrame. You can include (embed) a snippet of HTML code on a webpage somewhere on your website, and users can sign up directly from your website without having to go to another website. You will not need to create the code, but you will need to edit it on your webpage in order to include this eOSP in your webpage.

You can get more information after opting in by simply replying "help" to the short code you initially texted the keyword to.
