List (Only) Signup Collector:
One Tap, Opted In,
On Your List
The List Signup collector is the simplest opt-in in TextingOnly — no questions, no menus, no branching. Contact taps the SmartLink, sends the pre-filled text, receives the TCPA compliance confirmation, and is added to the associated list. That’s the entire flow.
The List Signup collector is deliberately minimal. It’s not the right choice when you need qualification data — use Custom Questions or ITR for that. It’s the right choice when the goal is purely to grow an opted-in, TCPA-compliant list as efficiently as possible.
The Complete Flow — 3 Steps
List Signup collectors are the engine behind keyword opt-in campaigns — “Text DEALS to (410) 555-0100.” When the contact texts the keyword, they hit the List Signup collector which adds them to the associated list and fires the compliance confirmation. The keyword IS the pre-filled message in the SmartLink configuration.
Building Segmented Lists
Create a separate List Signup collector — and a separate associated list — for each distinct opt-in source or segment. Different SmartLinks for different campaigns build different lists automatically:
“Summer Deals” SmartLink → “Summer 2026 Opt-Ins” list. “Fall Promotion” SmartLink → “Fall 2026 Opt-Ins” list. Each campaign builds its own segmented audience automatically.
Multi-location business: Baltimore SmartLink → “Baltimore Opt-Ins” list. Annapolis SmartLink → “Annapolis Opt-Ins” list. Separate outbound campaigns per market, separate attribution per location.
Instagram bio SmartLink → “Instagram Opt-Ins” list. Website button SmartLink → “Website Opt-Ins” list. Tracks which channel drives most list growth without any manual work.
Each direct mail piece has its own QR code → its own list. You know exactly which mailer drove which opt-ins — down to the individual mailing piece if needed.
The Outbound Connection
List Signup collectors build the audience. Outbound campaigns activate it. The pairing:
How List Signup collectors on table tents and receipts build the coupon list — and how outbound campaigns with MMS coupon delivery activate it.
