Abstract
Techniques for managing assignment and reassignment of short codes are described herein. One or more computing devices may assign a short code to a first messaging campaign for a first time period. After expiration of the first time period, the one or more computing devices may then reassign the short code to a second messaging campaign for a second time period.
Claims22
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a pool of short codes;
- a short code management module configured to be operated by the one or more processors to:
- receive a request to initiate a first messaging campaign;
- assign a short code from the pool of short codes to the first messaging campaign for a first time period;
- receive a request to initiate a second messaging campaign;
- and
- after the expiration of the first time period, and when the short code is a least recently assigned one of unassigned short codes in the pool of short codes, reassign the short code from the first messaging campaign to the second messaging campaign for a second time period.
A method comprising:
- assigning, by one or more computing devices, a short code to a first messaging campaign for a first time period;
- and
- after expiration of the first time period, reassigning, by the one or more computing devices, the short code to a second messaging campaign for a second time period.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more computing device, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request to initiate a first messaging campaign;
- reassigning a short code from a second messaging campaign to the first messaging campaign for a first time period, wherein a second time period for the second messaging campaign expires before the short code is reassigned;
- and
- transmitting a message associated with the first messaging campaign, the message utilizing the short code to identify the first messaging campaign.
