uRefer SMS Referral Programs

How uRefer’s SMS program Works:

The uRefer SMS platform works by reacting to a number different keywords, sent to a custom phone number by an advocate. uRefer tracks these keywords and processes them through our RMS engine. Based on the keywords sent by the advocate, uRefer performs different actions and responds to users with custom messages back.

For a quick example, an advocate might type JOIN to opt into a mobile program. Upon receiving the JOIN command, uRefer will register this user as an advocate and send them an sms back, welcoming them to the program. From there, the advocate is given a series of instructions on how to refer their friends.
