SMS
Overview
You can use MailUp as a messaging platform for sending out text messages. Features include: message delivery date/time stamp, detailed delivery errors (if any), statistics, automation and more.
Creating a text message
- 160 characters (up to 1530 characters in most of the countries with 10 concatenated messages)
- You can use dynamic fields to personalize the message. For example: « Dear [name], check out our new…» with default values that are used when the dynamic fields are empty in the database.
- Multiple charset support, including Chinese and Cyrillic.
Sending a text message
- Messages get there fast (low latency), even if the recipient's number has been transferred to a new carrier (direct connection to the MSC - Mobile Switching Center);
- Sender can change with each campaign (text and number): this only applies in some countries.
- You can send messages in over 200 countries: different settings and features may apply depending on the destination country;
- View the send queue's status in real time;
- Pause the campaign, edit the message, and resume with the edited message (if needed).
Automated and scheduled
- Create automatic, event-based messages (e.g. text message on customer's birthday, or when an insurance policy is about to expire);
- Schedule different campaigns, of different messages, on different dates/times.
Other features
- Reports: detailed campaign report: delivery report for each successful text message, with date/time stamp; indication of which messages were not delivered and why; aggregate statistics on all text messaging campaigns run over time.
- Privacy: run campaigns that are fully compliant with privacy regulations, with full confidence that any data loaded into the system will never be used for any other purpose.
- Reselling: the platform can be whitelabeled. Buy one only credits package and allocate credits to multiple clients.
