We’re excited to announce a powerful new feature in our Normalization suite at SMPPCenter: the Random Replace Rule. This enhancement brings dynamic flexibility to your messaging workflows, making it easier than ever to add variety to your message content programmatically. Whether you’re sending OTPs, alerts, or transactional messages, this feature ensures your messages stay fresh and engaging without extra effort.

What’s New with the Random Replace Rule?
The Random Replace rule allows you to define a set of replacement keywords for a specific term in your original message. During the normalization process, SMPP Software’s system will randomly select one of these keywords for each message dispatch, introducing variation automatically. This eliminates the need for manual updates or multiple rules, streamlining your messaging strategy while enhancing user experience.
How Does the Random Replace Rule Work?
Here’s a step-by-step look at how the Random Replace rule transforms your messages:
- Original Message Example:
Your OTP is 123412 - Normalization Configuration:
- Original Text: OTP
- Text Rule: Random Replace
- Replacement Texts: “password”, “code”, “number”, “authentication code”
- Action for Text: Random Replace
- System Behavior:
When the message is processed, the system replaces the word “OTP” with a randomly selected term from the replacement list. This happens for each message dispatch, ensuring a different variation every time.
Sample Outputs After Normalization
Here’s how the message might look after applying the Random Replace rule:
- Your password is 123412
- Your code is 123412
- Your number is 123412
- Your authentication code is 123412
Each time the message is sent, the system picks a different term, adding diversity without any manual intervention.
Why Use the Random Replace Rule?
This feature offers several benefits for businesses looking to optimize their messaging workflows:
- Simplified Configuration: No need to create multiple normalization rules for each variation—just define your replacement list once, and the system handles the rest.
- Automated Randomization: The system automatically selects a replacement term for each message, saving you time and effort.
- Message Diversity: Avoid repetitive phrasing by introducing variety, which helps maintain user engagement and prevents keyword saturation.
- Enhanced User Experience: Dynamic messages feel more personalized and less robotic, improving the overall recipient experience.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for OTPs, transactional alerts, or any scenario where you want to vary specific keywords without altering the message’s intent.
The Random Replace rule empowers you to create dynamic, engaging, and user-friendly messaging content with minimal setup, making it a game-changer for high-volume messaging campaigns.
