SlickText integration
When someone buys, signs up or fills in a form, an automation step creates or updates their SlickText contact by mobile number and puts them on the right lists.

What the SlickText integration does
The integration keeps your SlickText contacts and lists up to date from funnel events. Texts are still sent from SlickText, for example by a SlickText workflow on the list the contact joined.
- Create or update a contact by mobile number, with name, email, birthdate, address and custom fields
- Add the contact to one or more lists, or take them off lists
- Set the opt-in status, or ask new contacts to confirm by text (double opt-in)
- A contact who replied STOP or is blocked is never re-subscribed by a step

How to connect SlickText
There is no send-a-text step: SlickText's API sends campaigns to lists and segments, not single messages. For one-to-one texts from automations, use a Twilio, Plivo or Telnyx sender.
Create an API key
In SlickText, open Settings → API & Webhooks → API Keys and create a key. SlickText shows it only once.
Connect SlickText
In Apps → Integrations → SlickText, name the connection and paste the key. The brand ID is read from the key.
Add a step or preset
Add a SlickText step after a trigger and map the phone field, or create a preset from the Presets tab.
