The Clearstream Blog

Along with polls, you can now use subscriber data in your workflow texts ("Hi First Name"), customize the instructions when sending a menu in a keyword workflow, and if you use our CCB integration, you can now automatically add subscribers to a CCB group.

We've been busy updating several parts of our platform over the past several weeks (mostly boring, behind the scenes stuff). But today we launched a fun, new, not behind the scenes feature: Notes! And that's not all... keep your eyes peeled for an exciting, though likely unexpected, feature launching later this month! 👀

A2P 10DLC (application-to-person 10-digit-long-code) registration is mandatory if you use 10-digit local numbers for mass texting. You can use your same local number in your Clearstream account. You don't have to create a new number.

Since January, our team has made significant updates to the Messages page, where any mass or individual texts are scheduled and sent out from your account. Since small changes add up over time, we wanted to recap how this page has changed and review what all you can do! Check out the timeline of updates below.

Welcome to August! It's hot and humid here in Florida, with no end in sight. Regardless, we're grateful to be in the sunshine state! ☀️ If you haven't heard, we recently released recurring messages. Woot woot! Now you can schedule out your daily, weekly, or monthly reminders much... much more easily. We also made our Zapier integration public and made some sweet updates to what you can do with it.

Happy belated 4th of July! We hope you had a great, relaxing weekend. You've likely noticed several changes to Clearstream in the last month.

It's June in Florida, and we can't get enough of the beach. 🏖 This month, we've added a new feature to our Messages page, updated a few of our social media integrations, and made cosmetic updates to the Messages page. Check out these updates, and meet the newest member of our team below!

There have been major changes to the messaging ecosystem this year - most notably, the introduction of A2P. A2P 10DLC is a registration process required by wireless carriers when using 10-digit local numbers for mass texting.

Welcome to May! ☀️ We've been doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work around here, which isn't always flashy and fun, but it is important. While it may not sound very exciting, this "spring cleaning" work prepares the way for new and updated features. We're looking forward to a fun summer full of both development and growth here at Clearstream! Over the last month, our team has been working on releasing an exciting update for our iOS & Android Apps, sponsoring the TGC Conference in Indianapolis, and updating our API.
