SMS Campaigns

Quick Answer: SMS Campaigns

Send compliant Fundraising texts to opted-in phone numbers. Alignmint dedupes numbers, checks consent, and bills Minties only for eligible recipients—no exporting lists to another SMS vendor.

SMS 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 include only numbers with explicit SMS opt-in; duplicates and missing consent are skipped before billing.

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 consent 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 who opted in to SMS.
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, opted-in count—not raw CRM rows with phone numbers.

SMS compose no longer offers a template picker in the UI; draft your copy directly. STOP replies and consent 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.
