A new phone number lands in the lead list before anyone has picked up the phone or fired off a text. Under the FTC's Do Not Call rules, that number needs checking first, not after a message has already gone out, and doing that check by hand for every single lead is the kind of task that gets skipped when the list is long.

Scour Phone Number runs that check on a US ten digit number against the Do Not Call registry the moment a lead arrives. Paired with Mobile Message through Zapier, a lead captured in an app like Facebook Lead Ads or Google Forms can be screened first, then texted only once it has cleared, keeping outbound messages on the right side of the registry without a staff member manually running each number before every campaign goes out. For a team sending texts to leads at any real volume, that one check sitting quietly in the middle of the Zap is the difference between a clean list and a complaint from someone who asked never to be contacted again.
