Inactive-campaign

Every phone number must have an active campaign associated with it before any messages are sent. Sometimes those campaigns become disassociated with a TN and need reassigning.

Open a support chat with Ikeono to check your campaign assignment.

30034

Message not sent due to inactive campaign

Often happens on new accounts where the TCR campaign assignment to the phone number did not complete.

Open a chat with support so the campaign can be deleted and reassigned to the phone number.

Could-not-download-media

Some files are too large to meet carrier MMS limits and may be rejected.

Ikeono compresses media automatically, but for higher resolution, use email or a Drive link instead.

4770

Destination-spam-detected

Most often this is a false positive flag on a receiving carrier's spam filters, and is often caused by URLs but can also be from special characters.

If there is a URL in the message, try splitting the messages. Send the SMS and then wait a couple of seconds and send the URL.

4771

Rejected-shortened-url

Carriers block link shorteners like Bit.ly due to scam associations.

Ask ChatGPT

Only send links from public URLs.
