IDA Website Spotlight: Opt In for Text Reminders

Did you know that the IDA offers the option to have text/SMS alerts sent straight to your mobile device? Text/SMS alerts are a convenient supplement to email reminders to help make sure you never miss your membership or certification renewal deadline.

Note: this is an opt-in feature only; we will not send text/SMS alerts to you without your prior permission. 

If you would like to receive a text message alert before your membership and/or certification renewal date, just log in to your member profile and scroll down to get to the "Personal Information" section.

There you will find the TWO required fields to begin receiving text/SMS alerts: "Mobile" and "Text/SMS Opt In". BOTH fields must be filled in to receive text/SMS alerts. (Mobile must include an area code.)

As a reminder, the mobile number you enter in this field will NOT appear in your profile on the public consumer-facing website, DetailingNearby.com (unless it is the same phone number that you also enter into the "Phone" field under the Professional Information" section on your profile, as an Operator or Operator Employee member). This field is strictly used for text/SMS alerts for membership and/or certification renewal reminders.

Once both profile fields are filled in, don't forget to scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Save Changes" to lock in your preferences.

That's it! You're all set to start receiving text/SMS alerts for your upcoming membership and/or certification renewal.

If, at any time, you would like to stop receiving text/SMS alerts, you can opt out by simply switching the dropdown response to "Opt Out".

If you have any questions, please contact the IDA Central Office at info@the-ida.com.
