How customers opt in to SMS notifications

Sage Coastal customers consent to receive SMS lead notifications through a clear two-step process: a signed Customer Service Agreement and an explicit opt-in inside their account dashboard. Both steps display the full consent language at the moment of consent.

SMS program summary

1

Customer signs the Customer Service Agreement

Before any service is delivered, the customer signs the Sage Coastal Customer Service Agreement. Section 3 of that agreement contains the explicit SMS consent language reproduced below. The customer signs the agreement either on a printed PDF or via DocuSign.

From the Customer Service Agreement, Section 3 — SMS Communications and Consent

"By signing this Agreement, Customer expressly consents to receive automated SMS text messages from Sage Coastal at the mobile number(s) Customer provides, under the following terms:"

  • Program: Sage Coastal lead-notification SMS.
  • What you will receive: automated lead summaries from calls Sage answers on your behalf, urgent-call alerts when applicable, and occasional account or service notifications. You will not receive promotional or marketing messages through this program.
  • Frequency: message frequency varies, typically 3 to 15 messages per week, depending on call volume.
  • Cost: Sage Coastal does not charge for these SMS messages, but message and data rates may apply through your wireless carrier.
  • Opt out: You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message. Reply HELP for help.

Customer signs in to their account dashboard

After signing the agreement, the customer receives an invitation to app.sagecoastal.com. They sign in via SMS one-time passcode authentication using the mobile number on file from the agreement.

Customer enters their mobile number to receive lead alerts

Inside the dashboard, the customer enters one or more mobile numbers in the "Where should leads go?" SMS field. The consent language is displayed inline directly below the field. The dashboard form looks like this:

Mobile numbers for SMS leads (one per line)
+1 949 555 0123
Use E.164 format (+1 followed by the 10-digit number).
Save delivery settings

The checkbox is unchecked by default. The customer must affirmatively click the checkbox to indicate consent before the "Save delivery settings" button will accept the form. SMS lead notifications are only enabled after the customer checks the box and saves.

Customer can opt out at any time

Every customer who opts in can opt out instantly by replying STOP to any SMS they receive from Sage Coastal. Replying HELP returns contact information for support. These opt-out and help mechanisms are described at the moment of opt-in (Step 3) and reiterated in the public SMS Messaging Terms & Consent page.

Customers can also remove or change their mobile number at any time from the same dashboard field, which immediately stops further SMS notifications to the removed number.

Where the consent language is published

The full SMS Messaging Terms and Consent are published publicly at sagecoastal.com/sms-consent.html and are referenced from both the Customer Service Agreement and the dashboard. The same language appears verbatim in all three locations.
