Your app sends alerts
Your application sends messages via a customized flow to remind customers of upcoming events (such as an appointment or delivery). Messages can be personalized and scheduled for delivery according to your business logic. And with built-in failover, messages can be delivered to another channel in case the initial message doesn't reach the customer.
Customers can engage with your message
You can ask your customers to confirm receipt of a notification or reschedule an event by replying to the message, clicking on a link, or by calling back.
Response routing
You can route message replies to your application for interpretation and processing. If you want to enable callbacks, you can use a simple IVR application to capture input or route calls.
