Team Texting Identification
If enabled for your organization, text attribution adds an assistant's name to a text that is sent by them. When an assistant sends a message through Relate, their first name and last initial (ex. Amanda M.) will be added to the message as shown in the example below. The assistant’s name is pulled from the name for the user account associated with the workspace they are in. This will show in the text sent to the client, indicating to the client that a member of the workspace owner’s staff has responded to the message.
FAQs:
Q: Does this apply only to assistants in a workspace or will the workspace owner’s name be put in parentheses as well?
A: This applies only to assistants. This behavior does not occur for workspace owners.
Q: Is this available at the point of attestation?
A: No, this will only display for messages sent after the attestation message is sent.
Q: Will it apply to previous text messages or only messages moving forward?
A: This will not be applied retroactively. It will apply only to messages that are sent after the setting is enabled.
Q: Is the name considered “plain text” or part of the SMS that’s being sent?
A: The attribution name is considered part of the SMS that is being sent.
