Step 2: Set the Trigger

1. Choose a trigger like Tag Applied.

Step 4: (Optional) Apply a Keyword

If you’ve set up keywords in Project Broadcast (for auto-responses or campaigns):

1. Add another action: Add Keyword.
2. Select a keyword you’ve synced (e.g., Jeremy test). Note: If you don’t see your keywords, complete the Project Broadcast setup first and fetch them.

Step 5: (Optional) Send a Text Message

Want to send a message right away?

1. Add another action: Send SMS Message.
2. Write your message (e.g., “Hi [First Name], welcome!”).
3. Use the personalization token to insert their name.

Step 6: (Optional) Create a Sequence

1. After the first message, add a Wait action (e.g., wait 2 days).
2. Then add another Send SMS Message to continue the conversation.

Step 7: Publish Your Automation

Once everything is set up the way you want:

1. Click Publish.
2. Your automation is now live and will run whenever the trigger happens.
