DNCscrub.com API Integration
-
Chloe Larson
Integration Summary
ShapeCRM integrates with the DNCscrub.com API to ensure compliance with Do Not Call (DNC) regulations. This integration is intended to verify phone numbers validity as well as identifying known litigators, thus preventing unwanted contact.
Process Overview
- To activate DNCscrub.com integration it needs to be enabled in the integration settings area.
- A record’s primary number (which is the mobile phone) is automatically checked when created within the CRM.
- The system categorizes the DNCscrub.com API response codes to determine the appropriate action for each phone number against the VALIDITY check as well as a separate call to check for KNOWN LITIGATORS.
- If flagged, the specific reason is added to NOTES and the record is updated as:
- Do Not Contact
- SMS Opt-Out
- Email Unsubscribe
Implementation and Functionality
Record Processing​
Records are processed and checked against DNCscrub.com’s validity API endpoint.
- If passed, the number is then checked against DNCscrub.com’s Known Litigator API endpoint.
- If either fails, the record is flagged DNC, and is opted out for email and sms as well. The reason is added to notes.
