Additionally, if you are using a Campaign that sets "User Properties" through a button or any other method, those user properties set, will flow through to Postscript as well. For example, if you use a button to ask a question and then continue the flow, those Button Actions can "Set User Property" and then when the phone number is captured and sent to Postscript, the User Properties will flow through as Custom Properties
♻️ Handling Already Subscribed Visitors and Messaging Subscribers already attached to a Keyword
If the subscriber is already known, Amped will re-add them to the Keyword even if they are already associated to that Keyword so that you can send them the Reply step on the Keyword again.
If you would like messaging to still go out to an already subscribed phone number and if they are already added to the Keyword - Make sure that on the Reply step on the Keyword that the checkboxes for Only send once per subscriber and Only send to new subscribers are unchecked.
Then on when you are in the settings of the Reply Step, you can adjust
