At OneText we trigger this welcome message when we detect a new SMS opt-in in your CRM. We only send it if the shopper does not have a recent purchase on the store. If you want to set up a welcome message specifically for recent shoppers, you can use a webhook.

For popups, we recommend using a tap-to-text link for mobile subscribers to provide a frictionless and seamless user experience when they try to claim the incentive that you are offering.
