Website opt-in flow
Opt-in happens in the authenticated notification settings screen. The reviewer-accessible evidence for that login-gated screen is this public page: https://www.getporchlight.ai/sms-account-notifications.
- Who: A signed-in organization owner or admin of the business opens Settings > Notifications inside the Porchlight web app. Recipients are the business's own staff — never consumers, leads, or buyers.
- Where: They enter the internal recipient's mobile number on the form at https://app.getporchlight.ai/settings/notifications. The SMS channel stays disabled until the steps below are complete.
- Consent: They check a dedicated SMS consent checkbox that is unchecked by default and contains the full disclosure shown below. Checking this box is the express opt-in for this campaign.
- Verify phone ownership: They click Send code; Porchlight texts a one-time code to that number. Entering the code confirms the staff member controls the phone. This is a security step, not the consent.
- Activate: Only after the consent box is checked and the code is verified can the SMS channel be enabled. The recipient can reply STOP at any time to opt out, or HELP for help.
