This isn’t your average text message

Turn texts into shoppable experiences

Send messages that feel more like a brand experience–and less like a generic ping–with images, videos, and (soon) carousels.

Look familiar in all the right ways

Put your name and logo front and center so customers know it’s you. It builds instant trust—and that means more opens, more clicks, and fewer unsubscribes.

See what’s working the moment it happens

Track everything—from delivery to replies—in real time. You’ll know who’s engaging, what’s clicking, and how to optimize your next send.

Global reach with seamless delivery

Send rich messages and ensure delivery to every customer, with SMS and MMS fallbacks when RCS isn’t available.
