Text Messaging

SMS and MMS voter outreach: registration, compliance, contacts, and sends.

The full texting journey — enrollment, carrier approval, contacts, templates, and how every send is reviewed and released by the PolitiFast team.

What the compliance wizard asks for, why carriers require each item, and how Campaign Verify and 10DLC work in plain English.

What the Campaign Verify token is, what it looks like, where it goes in the compliance wizard, and what to do if yours has expired.

What actually happens during carrier review, what can stall it, and when it's time to ask for a status check.

How to upload voter files and supporter lists on the Messages page, what your file needs, and what PolitiFast does with it after upload.

How the templates library works, how merge tags personalize each text, and the writing habits that make campaign texts land.

Each step of the Submit a Text wizard, how free test texts work, what certification means, and what happens after you hit submit.

The one compliance line you must write yourself, the machinery PolitiFast runs automatically, and why the split works this way.

How image and video sends work, the 1-60 second video rule, automatic carrier conversion, and making media that reads at phone size.

How to read every send status in plain words, where delivery stats live, and where the per-send invoice shows up.
