How can I opt a contact or candidate out of SMS messages from Bullhorn Automation?
The easiest way to opt a contact or candidate out of SMS is to allow for them to opt themselves out. Here is a list of opt-out keywords that the recipient can send to your SMS number to automatically opt them out:
Keyword | Opts Out From |

STOP |

CANCEL |

UNSUBSCRIBE |

QUIT |

STOPALL |

Only single-word messages will trigger the opt-out. For example, replying "STOP" will stop the contact or candidate from receiving messages from that number, but replying "STOP PLEASE" or "PLEASE CANCEL" will not.
We recommend including a version of the following in any text that you send: "Opt out by replying STOP".
