SMS & MMS Marketing

Text-message campaigns with compliance built in.

Overview

Bulk and automated SMS/MMS to contacts, with carrier-compliance (opt-out keywords, consent tracking) and template management. SMS is also a workflow action and a conversational channel in the unified inbox.

What it's for

High-open-rate, time-sensitive messaging — promotions, reminders, and two-way conversation.

Capabilities

Bulk SMS/MMS

Send to a list or segment; attach images (MMS) and merge fields.

Templates

Saved message templates with merge tokens for reuse.

Opt-out handling

Auto-detects STOP/UNSUBSCRIBE and suppresses the contact per carrier rules.

Consent tracking

Records when/how a contact opted in for 10DLC/A2P compliance.

Two-way conversation

Replies land in the unified inbox for human or AI response.

Workflow action

Send SMS as a workflow step with delays and branching.

Use cases

Appointment reminders

Workflow sends an SMS 24 hours before a calendar event with a confirm/reschedule link.

Flash promo

Bulk SMS to a tagged segment with a time-limited offer and a tracked link.

Lead capture

Inbound keyword (text 'JOIN') adds the contact, tags them, and starts a welcome workflow.
