Resource center

Shared vocabulary, so conversations about opt-outs stay precise.

These are the definitions revoq uses internally and in its interface. They are written for compliance, marketing, and engineering readers at the same time.

Concepts

Terms worth agreeing on

Consent revocation

A consumer withdrawing permission to be contacted for marketing purposes.

Scope

What the consumer chose to stop: marketing calls, marketing text messages, or both.

Possession verification

Confirming control of the phone number by one-time code. Not identity verification.

Reference number

The identifier shown to the consumer and used to locate the request later.

Delivery connection

A configured destination — a suppression API or a signed webhook — that receives verified requests.

Response rule

The configured description of what a success, duplicate, or failure reply looks like from a given destination.

Exception

A delivery that did not land cleanly and still needs a person to resolve it.

Append-only record

History that is written once. Corrections are new entries, not edits.

Reference

Delivery states and what each one means

Queued
The verified request is waiting for its turn at a configured destination.
Delivery attempted
revoq built and sent the request from its own servers.
Response received
The destination replied, and the reply is recorded in sanitized form.
Accepted under the configured response rule
The reply matched the success rule set up for that destination. It is not a legal acknowledgment by the destination.
Inconclusive
A reply arrived but did not match the configured success or failure rule.
Failed
The destination reported an error, timed out, or was unreachable.
Blocked
revoq refused to send — for example a prohibited network target or a paused connection.
Awaiting resolution
An exception is open and a person still needs to close it out.

Questions

Frequently asked

Consumers looking for help with a request they already submitted should read consumer help.
