SMS Gateway features

Outgoing SMS (1-way)

One-way messaging with an SMS Gateway allows you to send SMS messages to recipients without expecting or enabling a reply. This type of messaging is ideal for broadcasting important information, alerts, notifications, and promotional messages to a large audience efficiently.

Keywords

Keywords enable users to interact with your SMS system by sending specific words or phrases to a designated number like START/STOP. This triggers automated responses, workflows or actions, making it easy to manage user inquiries, subscriptions, and other interactions efficiently.

Auto reply

Respond automatically to incoming messages based on predefined rules, such as a keyword response like YES/NO. This feature ensures timely and consistent communication, enhancing customer experience by providing instant feedback and information without manual intervention.

Personalisation variables

Personalisation variables let you customise SMS messages with specific details such as the recipient's [Name], [Account number], or appointment [Time]. This adds a personal touch to your communications, increasing engagement and relevance.

Flash SMS

Flash SMS delivers messages directly to the recipient's screen, bypassing the inbox and ensuring immediate attention. This is ideal for urgent notifications and alerts that need to be seen instantly.

Quotas

Quotas allow you to set limits on the number of messages sent within a specified period. This helps in managing costs, preventing overuse and fraud, and ensuring compliance with messaging policies.

Incoming SMS (2-way)

Two-way messaging with an SMS Gateway enables both sending and receiving SMS messages to engage in real-time conversations with your audience. Recipients can respond to messages, participate in surveys, provide feedback, and interact with customer support. It's widely used for customer service, order confirmations, appointment scheduling, job requests and opt-in to marketing campaigns. A key feature of 2-way messaging is the use of keywords.

Sender ID(s)

Sender ID lets you customise the name or number that appears as the sender on the recipient's phone. This enhances brand recognition and trust, as recipients can immediately identify who the message is from. We can also offer sender ID protection, which means that only we, as an aggregator, can send your messages with a specific sender ID. Meaning if someone else tries to send using that sender ID except us, it will be blocked.

Analytics

See detailed insights into your messaging campaigns and send-outs, including delivery rates, open rates, and response rates. This data helps you measure effectiveness, optimise strategies, and improve future messages.

Delivery receipts

Delivery receipt confirms whether your SMS messages have been successfully delivered to the recipient’s device. This feature helps in tracking message delivery status and identifying any delivery issues.

Time rules

Time rules allow you to schedule messages to be sent at specific times or within certain time frames. This ensures that your messages reach recipients at the most appropriate and effective times.

Stop list

The stop list feature manages opt-out requests by maintaining a list of numbers that should not receive further messages. This helps in compliance with regulations and respects user preferences.

Concatenation

Concatenation enables the sending of long messages by breaking them into multiple segments and reassembling them on the recipient’s device. This ensures that your full message is delivered even if it exceeds the standard 160 SMS character limit.

URL links

URL links allow you to include clickable web links in your SMS messages. This drives traffic to your website, landing pages, or other online resources, enhancing engagement and providing additional information.

Security

Protects your data from unauthorised access and breaches. This includes authentication to web portal, and other measures to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your communications.

Number lookup

Number lookup validates and retrieves information about phone numbers, such as carrier details and whether the number is active. This helps in maintaining accurate contact lists and improving message delivery rates.

Webhook

Webhook allows your SMS Gateway to send real-time data to other systems when certain events occur. This enables seamless integration with your existing workflows and systems, facilitating automated processes and immediate responses.

Templates

Allow you to create and store preformatted messages for recurring use. This feature significantly enhances efficiency and consistency in your communications by enabling quick dispatch of standard messages without the need to compose each one from scratch.
