One text to the wrong number can turn into a TCPA lawsuit. That's why SendMate adds DNC and litigator screening to your Follow Up Boss text follow-up, before a single real estate text goes out.

There's an entire industry of serial plaintiffs who stay on the Do Not Call list, sign up for lead forms, and then sue agents who text them. In Follow Up Boss they look like any other real estate lead, and by the time you notice, the text is already sent.

SendMate screens every phone number against Federal Do Not Call, State Do Not Call, the DMA opt-out list, and known TCPA litigators. It also detects the phone type, so landlines that can't receive texts turn into a call reminder instead.

As your Follow Up Boss tasks load into SendMate, flagged contacts get a clear badge — litigator, DNC, or DMA — so you see exactly why a number was flagged before you decide. Results are cached, so you're never charged twice for the same number.

This is automated follow-up texting, but never an unattended blast — you set what happens for each flag. Skip texting for litigators, flag-only for established clients who may still qualify under the existing-relationship exemption, and every reply lands right back in Follow Up Boss.

Texting Betty, Lead Engage, Agent Legend, and Street Text send through third-party numbers with no visibility into who's on a Do Not Call list. SendMate is local-first and sends real estate texts from your own number, so you get compliance visibility other Follow Up Boss texting tools simply don't offer.

Connect once with your Follow Up Boss API key, turn on DNC screening, and every real estate text is checked before it sends. Get DNC and litigator screening for your Follow Up Boss texting at MySendMate.com.
