A subscription list is a group of people who have agreed to get messages from you. Most people join by texting a keyword to your number. Once they join, you can reach them all with one message.

You need an active account with a phone number. You can build lists at any time, but your number cannot send until its carrier registration is complete.

Step 1: Create a list

  1. Log in to MojoTxt.
  2. Click Subscription Lists under Tools in the left-hand column.
  3. Click New List.
  4. Type a List name and a Keyword. The keyword is the word people text to join, such as UPDATES.
  5. Click Create list. You land on the list's Settings tab, where you can write your welcome message.

Step 2: Add people

Let people join on their own (recommended)

  • By text: ask people to text the list's keyword to your number.
  • On the web: click the list's Share button to copy its sign-up link. Put the link on your website, on social media, or in an email. See Web-Based Subscription List Signup.

Add people who have already given you permission

Open the list's Members tab.

  • One person: click Add member. Search for them, or type their mobile number.
  • From a spreadsheet: click Import and choose Import a CSV file… See Importing Multiple Subscribers to a Subscription List.
  • From another keyword: click Import and choose Import from a keyword… This adds people who used another keyword, such as a donation fund or auto-responder.

People you add this way do not get the welcome message. For more, see Subscription Lists.
