Send outbound texts and completely block customers from replying

For sales and support, one-way communication is intended for outbound-only messaging where responses from consumers are not required or desired. Common use cases include:
Sales and onboarding notifications
Status updates related to calls, accounts, or service activation
Support-related alerts (e.g., case updates, system notices, service interruptions)
Compliance or policy announcements sent at scale
These messages are informational and operational, not conversational.
Customer segments / industries that benefit most
This feature is particularly valuable for:
sales organizations managing high outbound communication volume
Support and operations teams that need to deliver consistent messaging across partners or customers
Industries with strict compliance and audit requirements, where inbound replies could create risk or operational overhead
Handling attempted replies from customers
If a customer attempts to reply:
The system should block or ignore inbound responses
An automated message should clearly state that the channel is outbound-only
The response should not open tickets, conversations, or trigger workflows
Customers should be redirected to approved support channels (e.g., support phone number or portal) if action is required

Hiya Whole Chimpanzee, thanks for this post! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific scenarios or use cases do you envision for one-way communication?
- Are there any specific customer segments or industries that would benefit most from this feature?
- How should the system handle any attempted replies from customers?
