SMS Consent

SMS consent should be explicit, phone-scoped, timestamped, and separate from email consent or relationship evidence. Auvra can record SMS readiness and blockers while keeping provider SMS sending disabled until a separately reviewed channel setup exists.

Auvra stance

Auvra does not treat email consent, a referral, or a prior business relationship as SMS permission. The phone number and evidence must match the SMS channel.

What explicit SMS consent needs

A useful SMS consent record names the phone number, consent source, timestamp, opt-out instructions, tenant, and review status. If the phone number does not match, the consent should not apply.

What does not carry over

Email opt-in, a warm CRM relationship, a referral, or account fit can support other sales work, but those facts do not prove permission to text a phone number.

Why sending remains separate

Even when a phone-scoped consent record exists, SMS provider setup, opt-out handling, number registration, and send approval are separate gates. Readiness is not the same thing as a live send.
