What is A2P registration?
A2P (Application-to-Person Messaging) registration refers to the process of registering a business or organization to use A2P messaging services.
Usually, A2P messaging refers to the communication between applications or software and individuals. It’s often used for sending automated messages, alerts, notifications, sales promotions, and other information from applications to users.
A2P registration typically involves providing basic information about the business, such as name, address, and contact information, and most importantly — agreeing to comply with A2P messaging regulations and guidelines.
Why is A2P registration important?
A2P registration is important because it makes sure that businesses are using A2P messaging in a responsible and compliant manner.
The US and Canada require A2P registration in order to make sure that receiving and sending messages to only customers or businesses that consent.
The challenge with A2P registration and onboarding
When using any new or unknown terminology, getting users or businesses to fully onboard and understand, can be… tricky.
For example, asking customers, “Do you agree to receive newsletter emails?”, is much more understandable and easy to register or opt into than asking them “Do you agree to comply to A2P regulations?”.
That’s where the challenge lies; to educate and guide users through what A2P registration truly means.
And that’s where the right educational and onboarding resources need to be introduced to guide the users through necessary steps, information, and actions.
Overall, A2P registration plays a crucial role in maintaining a safe and regulated messaging environment for both businesses and consumers.
