Survey Product Serial Registration

Survey Product Serial Registration

Survey product registration comes in handy when an organization are looking to instruct a customer on how to register a product via SMS as opposed to relying on instructions on the product.

  2. Creating a Product Registration Survey
  3. Editing Contact Group Registration & Response Settings

The contact will receive a response that the product serial has been registered. If the Product Serial is already registered or is a wrong serial, the contact will receive an invalid serial response.
