Contact Policy

Contact Policy application provides you with the ability to store customer consent information for various communication purposes. In addition, it offers you with the ability to apply contact thresholds to avoid sending too many messages or calls to the same customer.

Contact Policy application works in conjunction with the Contact Policy APIs and Messaging APIs.

At the center of this are Consent Groups that you can configure once you access the Contact Policy app. A consent group is set up on an opt-in or opt-out basis with the following capabilities:

• Customer consent management: Create and manage consent groups for opt-in or opt-out management.
• Contact preference management: Capture and maintain consumer's preference for the business to utilize a specific channel when contacting them
• Contact Frequency Management – Configure policy limits and track usage against these limits for communication frequency on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
• Maintain a clear audit trail of edits, lookups, and changes made to the consent group settings.
