You can review the number of inbound SMS replies via a self-serve extract in Taguchi.

  1. Head to your Taguchi Organisation.
  2. Head to the Subscribers area and locate the “Run Extract” button.

Run an SMS reply extract

  1. Click on the “Run Extract” button and run a “Subscriber Profile” extract.

You can utilise the following target expression examples, in order to extract SMS replies:

  • replied SMS (this will run an extract on replies to any SMS sent at any time).
  • replied activities XX, YY (where XX and YY are your activities. You can do this for one or multiple activities. This will run an extract on replies to the activity IDs that you specify).
  • replied SMS this month (this will run an extract on replies to any SMS sent ever during the month).
  • replied SMS YYYY-MM-DD to YYYY-MM-DD (this will run an extract on replies to any SMS for a specified date range).

You can continue to refine your target expression by using the target expression builder.

Target expression builder

  1. Once you click on the “Generate Extract” button, you’ll be redirected to the dashboard. From here, head to the notifications panel on the right-hand side. A notification will appear showing that your extract is generating.

Please note: 'Generate data' access rights are required to generate extracts. For more on user access rights, see our V5 user guide. Downloading the extract means downloading a file containing personally identifiable information on your computer.
