❓ Can we use Auctria for texting?
A: The good news is all of Auctria's paid licenses (in
the US and Canada) include texting, and it only
takes 1 click to enable Standard Texting! For most
organizations, Standard Texting is a great fit. All
system-generated text notifications, including
bidding updates, registration confirmations, check-
in notifications, and item won alerts are supported
Bidders can reply to outbid notifications to place
their next bid by text.
If you would like to send custom texts, you would
need Advanced Texting. Advanced Texting is
available to 501(c)3's in the United States and for
any organization in Canada. US organizations will
need to submit a profile which has to go through a
regulatory vetting process.
