When a carrier is connected

Message frequency will depend on the appointment, not a marketing drip. Message and data rates from the carrier can apply. STOP will opt out and HELP will return this salon's contact. That behavior is not live yet, so those keywords do nothing on a phone today.

Consent

A booking form collects a phone number to identify the visit. It is not consent to a marketing program. Agent verification uses the number or email the assistant submitted, and the client must confirm.
