INFORMATION

Auctria provides a list of available numbers to choose from for your area.

The Advanced Texting feature set cannot be set up using an external mobile telephone number.

If you choose the Advanced Texting feature set, you must ensure your Text Profile is up-to-date and "correct" to what you have on your registered EIN profile. These must match for your Advanced Texting feature set to be completely enabled.

Existing Texting Number

Suppose you've previously registered a Text Profile with Auctria. In that case, you can check your status on the Texting page of the Auctria Dashboard under Communication. Profiles registered in the last few months should be valid; older profiles may need updating with the Organization's EIN.

To set up Text Messages, go to Communication from the main Auction Dashboard. Then click on Text Settings.

Assign Phone Number

With an Emerald or Diamond subscription plan, the Text Messages feature set is included. For the Advanced Texting feature set you need to click on the Assign Phone Number button to start the set up process.

If you have previously used Text Messages with your Auctria organization, you can transfer your telephone number to your current event.
