Keyword campaigns are how your audience is going to interact with your organization using text message. You can use keywords to capture email addresses to grow your email list or first name for personalization purposes or use them to send auto-response messages or direct your audience to a particular website or event page.
Keywords are a great way to start growing your text list as well for sending text marketing messages.
