SMS marketing skill

SMS marketing is part of Corey Haines' marketing skills. Its job is to plan SMS and MMS flows: welcome, abandoned cart, win-back and promotions. It loads on its own when a request matches its description, and you can also call it by name.

When the agent reaches for it

The agent keeps every installed skill's description in view and loads the full instructions when a request matches. This is the description it reads:

When the user wants to plan, build, or optimize SMS or MMS marketing — including welcome flows, abandoned cart texts, post-purchase, win-back, promotional sends, or transactional/auth SMS. Also use when the user mentions "SMS marketing," "text message campaigns," "SMS sequence," "SMS automation," "abandoned cart text," "post-purchase SMS," "Klaviyo SMS," "Postscript," "Attentive," "Twilio," "A2P 10DLC," "TCPA," "SMS compliance," "short code," "toll-free SMS," "MMS campaign," "should I do SMS," or "SMS vs email." For email sequences, see emails. For SMS copy framing, see copywriting. For opt-in popups that capture phone numbers, see popups.
