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.

Using SMS Autoresponders

Here’s a quick walk-through on setting up an Autoresponder message with SimpleTexting

After logging in to SimpleTexting, click Autoresponders on the left-hand side, then New autoresponder. Next, give it a name—don’t worry, this won’t be visible to subscribers. Select the list you’ll be sending the message out to, then choose to send your Autoresponder as either SMS or MMS. Now you’ll compose your message. Set the delay time for the message (anywhere from minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months), click Save autoresponder, and you’re done!
