Handoff
Track your organization's messaging usage and block list.
Handoff provides a window into your messaging interactions with customers. Handoff includes both Blocklist and Message Lookup. Block List allows you to search by phone number to determine whether a customer has blocked your Organization's messaging handle from sending messages, and Message Lookup allows you to see information about the different messaging exchanges that have taken place between your Organization and your customers.
Block List
Quick access: Handoff > Block List
The Block List feature allows you to look up customer phone numbers to see if they are not receiving messages from your Organization.
Use Case
Use the Block List if a customer reports not receiving notifications from your Organization. The customer may have replied "Stop" or "Cancel" to an incoming message from your Organization, and therefore was placed on the Block List. To be removed from the Block List, the customer should reply Start or Subscribe to the same phone number.
To search for a specific phone number, enter a customer phone number in the Search field, including the country code. Click the Search button. The customer number will appear if they are on the Block List.
The chart on the Block List page includes:
- Channel: The phone number from which your Organization sent the message
- Customer Number: The phone number of the customer to whom the message was sent
- Created At: The date and time that the message from your Organization was blocked
