Why Regional Blocking Matters
International marketing is powerful, but not all messages belong in every inbox. With Regional Blocking, you can exclude registrants from specific countries or regions from receiving SMS and MMS messages—ensuring compliance, saving costs, and protecting deliverability.
💡 Benefits
Stay compliant with international SMS laws
Avoid sending messages where local regulations restrict or penalize SMS marketing (e.g., EU, India).Control costs
Eliminate unnecessary SMS/MMS fees from regions outside your market focus.Respect regional preferences
Avoid poor brand impressions from sending late-night or irrelevant texts to overseas audiences.
⚙️ How to Use It
1. Go to Settings → Regional Blocking
2. Click Add New
3. Select one or more countries or regions to block
4. AEvent will automatically detect registrants’ locations and block SMS and MMS delivery for matches.
Registrants from blocked regions will still go through the funnel, receive email sequences, and access content—you’re just silencing texts where they don’t make sense.
This feature is especially useful for users running global funnels with U.S.-centric offers, or those working with JV traffic from mixed geo audiences.
