SMS Campaigns

Quick Answer: SMS Campaigns

Send Fundraising texts from Fundraising → Text Campaigns. AlignMint dedupes phone numbers, skips anyone who opted out, and bills Minties only for eligible recipients—no exporting lists to another text vendor.

Text Campaigns

Text campaigns live in the Fundraising hub beside email. Compose a message, pick donors, volunteers, prospects, contacts, or a mailing list, and send with the same audience controls as email. Bulk sends skip opted-out numbers and duplicates before billing. A number that has not opted out can be included; AlignMint does not require a separate explicit opt-in flag on every row.

What You Can Do

• Target the same audience types as email campaigns, including saved mailing lists
• Insert smart tags for personalization where supported
• Preview recipient counts that reflect opt-outs and phone deduplication
• Track delivery outcomes alongside other Fundraising campaigns

Common Tasks

Send an event reminder text

1. Open Fundraising → Text Campaigns and create a new message.
2. Select a mailing list or segment with phone-capable members.
3. Keep the message short, include a link if needed, and send after reviewing the eligible count.

Good to Know

Minties SMS costs are tier-based: Free and Plus charge 2 Minties per eligible text; Pro and Enterprise charge 1 Minty each. The pre-send balance check uses the deduped, not-opted-out count—not raw CRM rows with phone numbers.

SMS compose no longer offers a template picker; draft your copy directly. STOP replies and opt-out records are authoritative—staff cannot text opted-out numbers from AlignMint.

Text campaigns require Fundraising access and sufficient Minties (or a Pro/Enterprise tier with lower per-text cost). Plus includes 2,500 monthly Minties; see Minties.
