Text messages and consent

Construction foremen and their crew members. A great many of them have no company email address — the reason this messaging exists at all is that a text is the only way to get a man his own login without borrowing his personal email for company use.

The message carries a one-time link to a page where he sets his own username and password. That is the whole purpose. Nothing is sold, offered or advertised.

The consent is employer-provided, which is the normal arrangement for workforce messaging: the worker gave their mobile number to their employer as part of being employed, and the employer confirms that at the moment of sending.

The flow, in order:

1. A worker gives their employer their mobile number and agrees to be contacted on it about work. This happens off FieldSynk — on the employer's own hiring paperwork — because the worker has no FieldSynk account yet. Getting him one is what the message is for.
2. An authorised person at that business — an owner, office manager or payroll administrator, signed in to their own FieldSynk account — adds the worker to the company roster, including the number.
3. To send, they must press a Text button. Immediately above that button, on every screen it appears on, is this notice:

Pressing Text is the confirmation. Its exact wording, which is the same text rendered above and is stored once in the application so the two cannot differ:

“By pressing Text, you confirm this worker gave your company this mobile number and agreed to receive a one-time account-setup message from you at it. Message and data rates may apply. They can reply STOP at any time.”

There is no public sign-up form, no keyword to text in, and no web page where an end user opts in — because the recipient is not a FieldSynk customer and has no account until this message gets him one. FieldSynk never collects mobile numbers from the public, and never buys, rents or imports them.

There are two, and these samples are built by the same code that sends the real ones. Only the company name and the link change.

Message frequency: normally one message per person — the invitation itself — plus an occasional resend if they ask for the link again, for example when the first one expired or went to a mistyped number. There are no recurring campaigns and no scheduled sends.

Reply STOP to any message to stop all messages to that number immediately. Reply HELP for help. Both keywords are handled automatically on every number we send from. You can also write to us at support@fieldsynk.org.

Message and data rates may apply.

Mobile numbers and consent are never sold, rented or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes. A number is passed only to the carrier delivering that message.
