Hey TEK Circle ! 👋 If you’ve been hearing about A2P 10DLC (Application-to-Person 10-Digit Long Code) but don’t know where to start, don’t sweat it – I’ve got your back. Today, we’re diving into the self-setup process so you can keep your text campaigns flowing without the headaches. 😎

Why A2P 10DLC Matters 💡

📱 If you send business texts, carriers now require your numbers to be registered to reduce spam and improve deliverability. Without registration, you risk getting your texts filtered or blocked.

No A2P = No Texting = No Customers = 😱

Step-by-Step Guide to Self-Register Your A2P:

1️⃣ Get Your Ducks in a Row 🦆

• Make sure you have your business EIN (Employer Identification Number) handy. You’ll need it for registration.

• Know your use case: Are you sending promotions, appointment reminders, or something else?

2️⃣ Head Over to Your SMS Platform 📍

• Platforms like GoHighLevel, Twilio, or other CRMs often have built-in A2P registration tools.

• Go to the A2P 10DLC registration section (it’s usually under “Settings” or “Phone Numbers”).

3️⃣ Fill in Your Business Details 📝

• Enter:

  • Business Name

  • EIN / Tax ID

  • Business Address

  • Contact Info (Owner/Manager)

4️⃣ Define Your Campaign 📣

• Select your campaign type (examples: “Marketing”, “Customer Care”, or “Notifications”).

• Add a description of the messages you’ll be sending. Pro Tip: Be clear and transparent to avoid delays!

5️⃣ Agree and Submit ✅

• Review all your details and hit “Submit”.

• Depending on your provider, approval can take a few hours to a couple of days.

6️⃣ Assign Numbers to Campaigns 📲

• Once approved, connect your 10-digit long code numbers to your new A2P campaigns. Boom! You're compliant.

Things to Watch Out For 🔍

⚠️ Incorrect info = delays. Double-check that your EIN matches your legal business name.
⚠️ Non-compliance = penalties. Stay away from spammy language in your texts. Keep it clean and customer-focused!

Why Do It Yourself?

• Faster setup

• Saves $$ compared to third-party fees

• You learn the ropes – empowering yourself = 🏆

Closekit just enabled a feature that says at the begining of the call that the call is recorded. I know I unchecked that before, but now that ability is gone.

People have been hanging up. I submitted a support ticket with urgency and there’s nothing in their help section.

How do I disable?

Overview:

We are excited to announce capability to add Payment plans to invoices

What's New?

• Users can now split their invoices into a payment plan installments

• A split can be made both on Percentage basis as well as amount basis

• Each split carries with it a Due Date and Payment Status of that split. Notifications will go on split's due date reminding user to Pay their installment (if not paid already)

• Payments can be done only in predefined split and user can choose to pay one or more installment at a go. An Invoice will get paid once all installment are paid.

How to use?

• Click on add payment schedule in an invoice

• Set up the payment terms with a percentage or fixed amount and send it

• User will view the invoice with ability to view the plan on the invoice

• User will then pay the invoice and have an option to either select that payment schedule value or add other schedules as well by clicking on a checkbox

Why this feature?

We are solving one major use case here: For medium to large ticket invoices, we have often gotten a requirement that user wants to pay their invoices in installments. While we already have Partial payment, that gives control to payer of invoice to control what amount to be paid when, With this feature, we are giving control in hands of Payee of invoice of the installment size in which Invoice should get paid.
