SMS Notifications: Opt-In

Last updated: May 25, 2026 · chrispowell.ai/sms-opt-in

This page documents how recipients enroll to receive SMS notifications from the DadOps personal account-notification service operated by Chris Powell.

1. What This Service Is

DadOps is a private, single-user personal-notification application operated by Chris Powell. It sends the account owner SMS alerts triggered by their own activity, such as upcoming calendar events, action items, and account-status changes. It is not a marketing program, public-facing product, or multi-tenant service. The only enrolled recipient is the account owner.

Service summary

Brand: DadOps Operator: Chris Powell Volume: about 10 to 50 a week Sender: +1 (866) 310-5463

2. How a Recipient Opts In

A recipient enrolls by entering and saving their phone number on the authenticated DadOps account-settings screen. The screen contains the following form:

Phone number for SMS notifications

+1 555 555 5555

I agree to receive SMS notifications from DadOps at the number above. Message frequency varies (typically 10 to 50 per week). Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. See Privacy Policy and Terms.

Save & enable SMS

Representative form. The actual UI lives behind authentication on the account owner's local DadOps instance.

Saving the form (with the consent checkbox affirmed) constitutes opt-in. The phone number is also added to a hard-coded server-side allowlist (TWILIO_ALLOWED_TO_NUMBERS) as a second layer of consent control: no number can receive messages without being on this allowlist regardless of any other configuration.

3. What Recipients Receive

Two representative messages:

DadOps: you have a new calendar event at 3:00pm. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.

DadOps: weekly digest ready. 4 action items pending. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.

4. How to Opt Out

Recipients can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message. The number is removed from the active allowlist and no further messages will be sent.

Other recognized stop keywords: STOP, STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, QUIT, REVOKE, OPTOUT.

5. How to Get Help

Recipients can reply HELP or INFO at any time. The automated reply is:

DadOps notifications: Reply STOP to unsubscribe or email hello@chrispowell.ai for support. Msg & data rates may apply.

6. Re-Opt-In After Opt-Out

If a recipient opts out and later wants to re-enable notifications, they must return to the DadOps account-settings screen and re-save the form. Replying START or SUBSCRIBE from a previously opted-out number also resumes messages.

7. Cost & Frequency Disclosure

Message frequency: varies; typically 10 to 50 messages per week, driven by the recipient's own calendar and activity.
Cost: Message and data rates may apply per the recipient's carrier plan. The sender (Chris Powell) pays Twilio's per-message rates.
