To take full advantage of Catapult's targeting and personalization capabilities, you want to send Catapult relevant data about your subscribers in your CRM system. Through a combination of API calls and callbacks, you can keep Catapult in sync with your most up to date data about people.

When a person adds a mobile number to your preference center, and you want to sign them up, you should go through the Mobile Phone Sign-Up process from the previous scenario.

New Subscribers - Catapult Hosted

When a new subscriber come into your mobile database through a Catapult landing page or SMS opt-in, your CRM system can receive a callback to an API endpoint. Below is the standard format for callbacks. If you need Catapult to call a pre-existing API, the Vibes Mobile Solutions Group can create a custom integration solution for you.
