Handoff

Quick access: Handoff > Block List

The Block List feature allows you to look up customer phone numbers to see if they are not receiving messages from your Organization. 

Use Case

A common reason for utilizing the Block List would be if a customer contacts you explaining that they are not receiving notifications from your Organization. The customer may have replied Stop or Cancel to an incoming message from your Organization, and therefore was placed on the Block List. To be removed from the Block List, the customer should reply Start or Subscribe to the same phone number.

To search for a specific phone number, enter a customer phone number in the Search field, including the country code. Click the Search button. The customer number will appear if they are on the Block List.

The chart on the Block List page includes:

• Channel: the phone number that your Organization sent the message from
• Customer Number: the phone number of the customer to whom the message was sent
• Created At: the date and time that the message from your Organization was blocked
