No. When you join the beta you will have new hybrid (containing both text and emails) campaigns in your account. Make sure you change your automation rules to use these new campaigns!

Using your chosen area code, our system will rent a 10-digit phone number exclusively to send your texts. Leads will always receive texts from the same number. When a lead who has agreed to receive texts is added to a Marketing Automation campaign with text messages included, they will be sent text messages on the campaign’s schedule.

Only leads that have expressly given consent to being texted will receive text messages from your campaigns. When you join the texting beta, your contact forms will be updated to include texting consent language. Leads who submit a contact form with this consent language will be eligible to receive texts. Existing leads who have not given consent will not receive texts.

Certain Area Codes are not available for the new texting beta feature. You will see the error message below if your Area Code is unavailable.

If this happens, please select the next closest Area Code.

For example, if you get an error message with Area Code 210, you can use 830 instead.
