Before sending

  • Recorded, current consent for this channel and purpose
  • Not on any suppression or opt-out list
  • Allowed hours in the recipient's time zone
  • Frequency cap not reached
  • Approved template and claims
  • Identify who you are and why; disclose automation

Message design

  • One reason, one value, one clear action
  • Easy opt-out in every message
  • Handle STOP and HELP deterministically
  • Pass campaign context to the assistant for replies
  • Verify identity before sharing personal details

Mailings with AI

  • Fill approved templates, never invent offers or claims
  • Content guardrails and required legal text
  • Human approval and sample review across segments
  • Log prompt version, data and final text

Measure

  • Delivery and bounce
  • Reply rate and sentiment
  • Opt-out and complaint rate, with automatic stop thresholds
  • Outcomes and resolution of resulting conversations
  • Cost per successful outcome

Check by market

  • Telephone and messaging rules (for example the US TCPA)
  • Email rules and authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
  • Data-protection laws (for example GDPR, LGPD)
  • Platform policies for templates and registration
