Welcome, Developers!With the TextMarks Mobile Application Services Platform, you have access to powerful text messaging functionality for integration into your existing and new web and enterprise applications.
Send text messages from your application
To alert users when significant events occurWhether it's because somebody interacted with a user on your site, because your store is having a sale, or even if you just want to let people know about a new feature or product... The ability to easily broadcast text messages to all or any subset of your users will expand the reach of your application and bring convenience and information to your users wherever they are. More info... To engage users and bring them back to your siteMany users may be excited when they visit your website for the first time. But will they come back? Let them subscribe to your text alerts so they can be informed immediately when a product comes in that they're interested in, when another user wants to share information with them, or anything else. Send a coupon, send a link, or just remind them about what you're all about and get them back on your site. More info... To query users to get immediate feedbackSlightly more advanced, but still easy to execute... Send an alert to your users with a multiple choice question that they can respond to by text message. Use it for voting on issues, running a text-based game, asking if a server should be rebooted after an error, or anything else you want to easily automate. More info...
Receive text messages from users
To respond with dynamic information from your appLet users query your app's data on their own time via simple SMS requests to get product information, meeting locations, or anything else. Our Text Request Proxy Server captures texts from users (sent to our shortcode 41411) and converts them into simple HTTP requests to your web server(s). Parse the request, respond with some info, and we automatically send your response back to the user as a text message within seconds. More info... To expose your existing web content via SMSDon't want to build new tech? The same process described above can be used to scrape content off your existing web pages without writing a single line of code. Users text a request to our shortcode 41411, and our servers simulate a web browser to fetch a page from your site and extract relevant information from it. Within seconds, we send a text message back to the user with the content from your site. More info... To initiate actions in your appUse SMS like a command line in your pocket. Want to reset a server? Start a new round of a game? Post a message? Similar to the request/response interaction, you or your users send a text message to 41411, and we convert that into an HTTP request to your server. Send a response back with the result, or just silently do your thing. More info... |
