Find SMS/Email Overlap Causing Over-Messaging

Stop bombarding your best customers with the same message across two channels.

As SMS programs grow alongside email programs, over-messaging the same subscriber with the same promotional content across both channels is increasingly common — and increasingly damaging. A subscriber who gets the same sale announcement via email at 9am and SMS at 10am is 3x more likely to unsubscribe from one or both. PayHelm's weekly overlap audit identifies contacts enrolled in both email and SMS flows who are receiving the same offers within a 24-hour window, and recommends channel exclusion rules to prevent over-messaging.

Why automate this?

This task runs automatically every weekly — no dashboards to check, no manual analysis to run.

Unsubscribe rate reduction

Removing same-offer overlap typically reduces combined email/SMS unsubscribe rates by 20–40%.

Channel preference respect

Subscribers who preferred SMS over email identified for channel migration.

Smart exclusion rules

Recommendations for flow-level exclusion rules that prevent overlap automatically going forward.

SMS cost reduction

SMS messages to subscribers who already converted via email are pure cost — eliminating overlap saves real money.
