The API feature makes life simpler
“I love that SimpleTexting’ connects with API, which makes my life simpler as I can mix their system mix all my systems and use automation.
I have bad email deliverability, SMS helps me contact the client and let them know they have an email from us but that it may be in junk. It also gave us a platform to chat with clients in real time.”

Lots of helpful features
“API capabilities were one of the greatest reasons we switched but as we’ve used it more and more there have been so many other reasons like assigning texts to other users, the SimpleTexting app, texting templates, and scheduling… the list could go on and on.”

What is an SMS API?
An SMS API is a special way for computer software to communicate with text messaging. It helps people add texting features to their apps or systems. This special software has a set of rules and functions that let people send and get text messages automatically.
There are SMS APIs for Java, HTTP, and PHP. Once you set up an SMS API, you can see the status of your messages, send and get different types of texts, and even see what people wrote back to you without needing a password.
