Text HOABull. Texting terms.
For board members and property managers of communities on HOABull. See also our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
What it is
Text HOABull lets the board members and the property manager of a community that uses HOABull text their community's HOABull number instead of opening the app. You text what's going on, like "Get three quotes for a pool cleaner" or a photo of a vendor's quote. HOABull texts back a few questions, then files it on your board once you reply YES.
Who can use it
Only board members and property managers whose mobile number is saved on their HOABull profile. Texts from any other number get one reply explaining how to add the number, and nothing else.
How you turn it on
In HOABull, open Settings, enter your mobile number, and check "Text me back at this number." Or simply text your community's HOABull number from the number on your profile; your first text turns it on, and the first reply confirms it.
What we send and how often
We only text you in reply to a text you send, about what you asked: questions about the job, the list of what we'll file, and a confirmation when it's done. No marketing, no promotions, no texts out of the blue. How many depends on how much you text; a typical request is three to eight replies.
Cost
Message and data rates may apply, from your mobile carrier. HOABull doesn't charge for texts.
Stop or get help
Reply STOP at any time and we won't text you again; reply START to turn it back on. Reply HELP for help, or email support@hoabull.com. You can also uncheck the box in Settings. Carriers aren't liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Your number and your texts
We use your mobile number only to recognize you and reply to you. We never sell it. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes, and texting opt-in data and consent are never shared with any third parties. Your texts are handled by our texting provider, Twilio, and by Anthropic, which powers the assistant, only to answer you. What you ask us to file appears on your community's board, visible to the same people as anything else on the board.
What the opt-in looks like in Settings
Text HOABull
Text your community's HOABull number from the phone above, the same way you'd text a person. HOABull asks a few questions by text and files it on the board.
Text me back at this number. HOABull texts you only when you text it, about what you asked. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop, HELP for help. I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (texting terms).
The box starts unchecked. Texts begin only after the person checks it and saves, or texts the number themselves from the phone on their profile.
