We highly recommend you keep these settings as is. We’ve tested these settings to ensure your Twilio account doesn’t get restricted!

Please ensure all workflow updates or changes are completed before adding contacts to the workflow. Any changes made to the workflow settings will not apply to contacts already in the workflow. Similarly, contacts currently at a drip event will not be affected by any changes made to that event.

The objective of this video is to teach users how to adjust the DRIP settings in the initial SMS and other workflows effectively.

Adjusting DRIPs and Initial Workflows in Loom Transcript

  1. Understanding Initial SMS Workflow

    • Procedure for adjusting DRIPs is the same for all the initial workflows.

    • Initial SMS DRIPs are set at a starting point but can be adjusted based on needs.

  2. Adjusting DRIPs in Initial SMS

    • Changing the number of contacts sent per day in the initial SMS workflow.

    • Adjusting the frequency of messages sent per minute in the initial SMS workflow.

  3. Considerations for Minute DRIP

    • Deciding on the frequency of messages sent per day and the time window for sending them.

    • Adjusting minute DRIP to control the flow of messages throughout the day.

  4. Increasing Daily SMS

    • Changing DRIP settings to increase the number of contacts sent per day.

    • Understanding that changes in DRIP settings will only affect new contacts, not existing ones.

  5. Moving Contacts Between Events

    • Moving contacts from one event to another to adjust the flow of messages.

    • Understanding the process of moving contacts and the time it takes for contacts to transfer.

  6. Further Adjustments in Workflows

    • Exploring additional DRIPs and wait times after the initial message in the workflow.

    • Considering the spacing of messages and the gradual sending of messages in the workflow.

  7. Scaling Up SMS Sending

    • Gradually increasing the number of messages sent per day as you become comfortable with the platform.

    • Planning for increased daily SMS based on the number of users and the capacity for sending messages.

  8. Adjusting Sarah SMS Workflow

    • Similar process for adjusting DRIPs in Sarah's workflow as in Ben's and initial SMS.

    • Identifying areas in the initial workflows where DRIP adjustments can be made.

  9. Final Considerations

    • Starting with preset DRIP settings and making adjustments based on needs.

    • Maintaining a balance between message frequency and gradual scaling of SMS sending.
