A2P 10DLC Banner for Agency users

A recent update to the web platform now includes a notification banner to keep you informed about the A2P 10DLC regulations for sending messages within the United States.

SMS Carriers like AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, ClearSky, etc. will stop delivering messages for you and your clients after August 31, 2023 if registration is not completed.

Please refer to the following helpdocs to make yourslef (and your clients) compliant

1. LC Phone System Trust Center

2. A2P 10DLC Brand Approval Best Practices

3. A2P 10DLC Campaign Approval Best Practices

Toll-Free number registration is simpler when compared to A2P 10DLC and also free.

If signing up for A2P 10DLC sounds complicated for you and your clients, using Toll-Free numbers might be a simpler option for now.

Domain Connect Integration with Funnels And Website 🚀

A new version of Domain Connect is out, making it easier for customers. It now works with three big providers.

😎 Go Daddy

😎 Cloudflare

😎 Google Domains

🤗 What's New?

Seamless Integration: Domain Connect now works smoothly with Google, Go Daddy, and Cloudflare. You can quickly link your website names from these companies to different apps and services without having to set it up yourself.

🔥 Benefits of Domain Connect:

Simplified Setup: Domain Connect makes it easy to link websites to online services without having to set things up by hand.

Time-saving: You can easily and quickly set up your website name with companies we work with. This saves you time and work.

Enhanced Security: Using the safe systems of Google, Go Daddy, and Cloudflare, Domain Connect makes sure that domains and services connect securely and reliably.

Flexibility: Users can easily link their website names to many different services and apps, making their websites better and more visible online.

🌟 How It Works:

• To take advantage of Domain Connect with Google, Go Daddy, or Cloudflare, follow these simple steps:

• Go to the "Domain" tab and click on "Add Domain".

• Enter your root domain or subdomain in the provided field.

• If you are adding the "www" subdomain as well, you will see a toggle option to add the root domain with it. Select if you want to add the root domain along with "www" or vice versa. Click on the "Next" button.

• If your domain is within one of the supported providers (Google, Go Daddy, or Cloudflare), you will see an "Authorize" button. Click on it.

• This action will take you to your domain provider's interface to connect or add the required DNS records automatically.

• After completing the authorization process, close that tab and return to the Domain Connect interface.

• The necessary entries will be added in our system, ensuring the connection between your domain and the desired service or application.

• If you use a domain provider that doesn't work with Domain Connect (like providers other than Google, Go Daddy, and Cloudflare), you can still add the DNS records yourself. The steps for doing this haven't changed.

Email Signature Fixes and Improved Formatting 📧

Listening to your feedback, an important update has been made to Conversations. This update focuses on fixing issues related to email signature formatting and rendering.

What's New

🌟

1 . Email Signature Formatting & Rendering Fixes ✍️

• Previously:

  Email signatures were having problems with formatting because of the TipTap editor. This messed up how the new email writer looked on the Conversations page and how signatures added by other account users appeared on the My Profile page.

• Resolution:

  We've tackled all the major formatting challenges tied to the TipTap editor.

2 . Activation from Labs 🛠️

• Customers can now activate the 'New Message Composer' and the 'Profile V2' feature from Labs to begin using these improvements without any issues.

Important Note

📝

With this update, email signatures will show up correctly. This was a big worry for many people before, which stopped them from using these features.

The changes we made should make Conversations work better and faster. 🎉

Enhanced UI and A2P 10 DLC Banner 📞

The LC Phone System has new updates. In this T3 release, the focus is on making the user experience better with a new look for the interface and important notifications.

What's New

🌟

1 . Revamped UI for Providers 🎨

• What's Changed: The interface looks different now with the Vue3 Design Language. This makes everything in the system look more the same and adds easier-to-understand icons.

• Where to Find It:

  The new user interface is in the Phone Number Tab within Advanced Settings. It can only be seen by the agency.

2 . A2P 10 DLC Banner 🚩

• Who It's For:

  This message will show up for Subaccounts under LC Phone that have a minimum of one US Local/Mobile number and haven't finished A2P Registration.

• Visibility:

  Once you close the banner, it will not appear again.

🚨 Important Notes 📝

SMS carriers such as AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, ClearSky, etc., will cease message delivery for you and your clients after August 31, 2023, unless you complete the required registration.

Please refer to the following help docs to ensure compliance for both yourself and your clients:

1. LC Phone System Trust Center

2. A2P 10DLC Brand Approval Best Practices

3. A2P 10DLC Campaign Approval Best Practices

This information is relevant only if you are using local or mobile numbers to send SMS messages within the USA.

This does not apply to Toll-Free numbers.

Toll-Free number registration is simpler when compared to A2P 10DLC and also free.

If you'd rather not deal with the complexities of registering for A2P 10DLC for yourself and your clients, switching to Toll-Free numbers may be a good interim strategy.

Marketplace Updates: Granular Webhook Permissions 🪝

Pleased to announce a new feature addition to the developer marketplace!

🪄 What's New:

• Selective Webhook Subscriptions:

  Developers can now choose which webhooks they want to subscribe to based on their selected scopes, providing a personalized experience.

• No Re-installation or Re-authorisation Needed:

  If the scopes you asked for stay the same, developers can change their webhook subscriptions without reinstalling or asking for authorization again, as long as the allowed scopes don't change.

• Optimized Server Requests:

  By picking certain webhooks, developers can prevent extra server requests. This keeps their servers from getting too much repeating data and becoming overloaded.

• Webhooks Default State:

  Every web link will work as planned until September 30, 2023, if developers don't pick certain ones for now. Once they do, only those special web links will get event messages. After September 30, event messages will only go to subscribed events.
