Step-by-step guide
Understand what A2P 10DLC is
A2P (Application-to-Person) 10DLC is a US carrier framework that requires businesses to register before sending text messages at scale. Without it, your messages may be blocked or heavily filtered.
Go to Settings → Phone Numbers → A2P Registration
In your GHL sub-account, find the A2P Registration section. You'll register your Brand first, then your Campaign.
Register your Brand
Enter your legal business name, EIN (Employer Identification Number), business type, address, and industry. This must match your IRS registration exactly.
Register your Campaign
A Campaign describes how you use SMS. Fill in the use case (e.g. 2FA, Marketing, Customer Service), a description of your messaging, and sample messages.
Wait for approval
Brand and campaign approval typically takes 1-5 business days. You'll receive an email when approved. Monitor the status in GHL.
Assign your number to the campaign
Once approved, link your GHL phone number to your approved campaign. This activates compliant SMS sending.
