Let's Test the Automation:

  1. Create a test Contact or Lead for yourself (if you haven’t already).
  2. Be sure that your Mogli Number is correctly populated.
  3. Text in one of your specified Opt-Out keywords to one of your Gateways.
  4. The Mogli Opt-Out checkbox should be checked, and the Conversation View should be greyed out.
  5. Text in one of your specified Opt-In keywords to that same Gateway.
  6. The Mogli Opt-Out checkbox should be unchecked, and the Conversation View should be enabled.

ADMIN TIP: Depending upon the version of Mogli you’re running (4.2 and under), you may need to allow 5-10 minutes for the Mogli Opt-Out Automation to take effect. The Process will run at the rate of your batch process, which runs anywhere from 5-10 minutes. To see how often your batch process runs, go to Setup > Scheduled Jobs. To modify your batch process, go to the Setup MogliSMS tab, click unscheduled, enter "5", and click schedule.
