SMS and Email integration
Share on:

Hi.

A client of mine is using Office Autopilot for email management and wants to integrate SMS optin and messaging.


In an ideal world
  1. a user could optin by email or webform giving their mobile number and email address and be added to the system
  2. a user could optin by text giving their email address and be added to the system
  3. we could include text and emails in an autoresponder sequence (or be running two parallel sequences, one for email and one for sms in sync)
  4. we could broadcast to sms
It's the functionality that Instant Customer provides, but with the added power of OAP. I'm guessing the SMS platform would be Twilio (client is outside US), but I'm open to other suggestions that work in Europe.
Has anyone successfully done this level of integration? Could Zapier do it?

I've done a tutorial on how to do this. Customer texts their email address to a Twilio phone number and is added to an SMS list (OpenVBX) and an Aweber list simultaneously. The email management has to allow for opting in via sending an email. Not sure if Office Autopilot allows for optins via email but most should be able to have that capability. Check my sig for more info.
