Comprehensive opt-out/opt-in process for RingEX SMS messages
Neither the Automator (beta) or the RingEX APIs allow you to respond to an incoming SMS message using the recipient's phone number unless the automation or application is running as that user. Sending a confirmation of an opt-out request (STOP) from a different phone number is confusing to the customer and doesn't leave any clues in the user's SMS history. The response should come from the user's phone number and there is no easy way to set that up.
Also, there should be opt-out tracking within RingEX so that if a user attempts to text a customer who has previously opted out, they get a message or are barred from sending the SMS message.
Why isn't this a high priority for RingCentral?
