What are SMS Autoresponders?
SMS autoresponders are automated text messages that go out when a specific trigger happens—like a new subscriber joining your list, someone texting a keyword, or completing a form. By sending these messages automatically, you ensure immediate engagement, save time on manual follow‐ups, and consistently deliver important information right when it’s needed.
"What I love about autoresponders is that, at least in the first 90 days, if I don’t hear back from someone I know that about three weeks later, it’s going to hit them again. And then after that, it’s once a month up to 18 months. It allows me to have a long-term conversation with people in a way that’s not invasive."
