Built for a surf equipment retailer's exclusive SMS deal club, this system runs on three connected Make.com scenarios. The signup handler turns a landing-page form into a fully onboarded customer: it checks phone and email for duplicates, creates or reuses a BigCommerce customer, and sends a welcome SMS plus the current deal as an MMS. The broadcast scenario polls a Google Sheet every 15 minutes; when the operator flips a deal to Active, it fans out an MMS with the product image to every active subscriber and marks the deal as broadcasted so it never sends twice. The reply handler routes every inbound text by keyword: BUY returns the purchase link (or a sold-out or no-deal reply), INVITE sends a shareable invitation, HELP lists commands, and STOP/START manage subscription status, turning a one-way broadcast tool into two-way conversational commerce.

Signup flow with duplicate detection on phone and email, BigCommerce customer creation, and an instant welcome SMS plus current-deal MMS

15-minute scheduled polling with multi-condition filtering on Active, Broadcasted, and Sold Out flags

Fan-out MMS broadcast to every active subscriber, with atomic updates guaranteeing each deal sends once

URL sanitization layer working around a Cloudflare WebP conversion issue that broke Twilio MMS delivery

Six-way inbound command router (BUY, INVITE, HELP, STOP, START, and an unknown-keyword fallback) with case-insensitive matching

Instant TwiML acknowledgment and self-loop prevention to keep the reply flow fast and safe
