Special Campaign Use Cases

Carriers recognize certain use cases as “Special” due to their unique requirements. These include, but aren’t limited to, charitable organizations (501(c)(3) nonprofits), emergency services, and political entities, and may be subject to additional stipulations and fees.

Low-Volume Use Cases

In addition to the standard “Mixed/Marketing” use case, there is a separate Campaign use case designated as “Low Volume Mixed”– this option supports the same multiple use cases, but has a lower monthly fee than a standard Campaign and is fixed at the lowest throughput tier below, regardless of your Trust Score.
