Textiful Messaging Policy
At Textiful, we believe in the power of clear and reliable communication. We are committed to helping your messages reach their intended audience. To ensure high deliverability and protect against spam, all messages sent through Textiful.co must comply with applicable laws and industry best practices.
By using Textiful’s services (including SMS, MMS, webchat, voice, and other messaging channels), you agree to adhere to our Terms of Service and this Policy, which outlines our rules regarding:
-
Consent (Opt-in)
-
Revoking Consent (Opt-out)

Sender Identification
-
Appropriate Usage
-
Prohibited Content
-
Filter Evasion
-
Enforcement
1. Obtaining Proper Consent
Standard Consent (Opt-In)
Before sending any first message to an individual, you must obtain their clear agreement to receive messages from you. This is “consent.” You must explicitly state what type of messages they are agreeing to receive (e.g., appointment reminders, marketing promotions, order updates).
-
Record Keeping: You must keep a record of this consent, such as a signed form, a timestamp from a sign-up flow, or other proof. Retain this record for as long as required by local regulations or best practices, even after a user opts out.
-
Timeliness: If you do not send an initial message within a reasonable time after receiving consent, you may need to reconfirm it when you first message them.
-
Specificity: Consent is specific to you and the agreed-upon purpose. It cannot be bought, sold, or transferred. You cannot use a purchased phone list, and consent for one brand or use case does not apply to others.
Alternative Consent Pathways
While consent is always required, it can be obtained in these two specific scenarios:
-
Customer-Initiated Conversation: If an individual messages you first, you may respond directly to that specific inquiry. Their inbound message serves as consent for that conversation only. You must obtain additional consent for messages outside that exchange.
-
Informational Messages Based on a Prior Relationship: You may send a one-time informational message to an individual with whom you have a prior relationship, provided they gave you their number and took an action that triggers the communication (e.g., placing an order, booking an appointment). Examples include appointment reminders, receipts, one-time passwords, and shipping confirmations. These messages must be purely informational and cannot contain promotional content or advocacy.
Ongoing Messages & Reconfirmation
For ongoing messaging campaigns, you must:
-
Clearly remind recipients how to unsubscribe in your messages.
-
Respect their contact frequency preferences.
-
Proactively reconfirm consent as required by local regulations and best practices.
2. Identifying Yourself
Every message you send must clearly identify your business (the party who obtained consent) as the sender. The only exception is in a direct, ongoing conversation where the context is already clear.
3. Opt-Out (Unsubscribe)
Every initial message must include clear language on how to unsubscribe, such as: “Reply STOP to unsubscribe.” Other standard opt-out keywords include END, STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, and QUIT.
You must honor opt-out requests immediately. If a recipient unsubscribes, you may send one final message to confirm their opt-out has been processed, but no further messages are allowed unless they provide consent again.
4. Prohibited Content
You agree not to use Textiful’s services to send or facilitate content related to:
-
Spam & Unsolicited Messages: Any unsolicited promotions or advertising sent without proper consent.
-
Illegal or Harmful Activities: Content related to:
-
Child sexual abuse material.
-
Fraudulent goods, services, or schemes (e.g., pyramid schemes, “get-rich-quick” programs).
-
High-risk financial services (e.g., payday loans, cryptocurrency investments).
-
Third-party lead generation, debt collection, or credit repair programs.
-
Illegal substances (e.g., Cannabis, CBD).
-
Gambling.
-
SHAFT content (Sex, Hate, Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco, including vaping).
-
Phishing or pharming scams.
-
-
Infringing Content: Content that violates intellectual property rights.
-
Offensive Content: Harassing, defamatory, obscene, abusive, or invasive content.
-
Harmful Content: Viruses, malware, or any code designed to damage systems or expropriate data.
-
Filter Evasion: Content designed to evade detection (see below).
5. Prohibited Practices
-
Identity Falsification: Do not falsify headers, use false identities, mislead recipients about the origin of a message, or use spam bots.
-
Filter Evasion: Do not use Textiful’s services to evade unwanted messaging detection systems. Prohibited practices include:
-
Intentional Misspellings: Using words specifically misspelled to bypass filters.
-
Non-Standard Opt-Out Phrases: Creating unconventional unsubscribe language to evade detection.
-
Snowshoeing: Spreading similar messages across many numbers to evade thresholds.
-
Public URL Shorteners: Avoid using shared public shorteners like Bitly. Use a dedicated short domain for links in your messages.
-
-
Reverse Engineering: You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of Textiful’s services.
