Ways to send automated text messages
Auto responders
Automatically reply to incoming messages with personalised responses. Whether it’s a welcome message, out-of-hours reply, or FAQ, auto responders keep your customers informed without manual input.
Recurring text messages
Schedule text messages to send on a regular basis, from hourly to monthly and beyond. Perfect for appointment reminders, routine updates, or ongoing promotional campaigns.
Scheduled text messages
Plan and send one-off messages exactly when they matter most. Whether it’s a campaign launch, event reminder, or time-sensitive update, scheduling texts lets you keep on top of time-sensitive activity.
Keyword responses
Let customers text a keyword (like “SALE” or “INFO”) to receive an instant, automated reply. Great for promotions, sign-ups, or opt-ins with zero manual handling.
SMS drip messages
Create a sequence of automated messages sent over time based on triggers or customer actions. Drip campaigns are perfect for onboarding, nurturing leads, or guiding users through a process.
Behaviour-based triggers
Automate follow-up messages based on past customer actions, such as missed appointments, completed purchases, or inactive users.
