π What Is a Subscriber List?
A Subscriber List is a group of contacts (mobile numbers) that you can send messages to, trigger workflows, or use for automation campaigns. Think of it like an SMS mailing list β but smarter.
You can create multiple lists to organize your contacts by type, source, or campaign (e.g., "VIP Customers", "Event Attendees", "New Leads").
