What Are SMS APIs?

‘SMS API’ stands for ‘Short Message Service Application Programming Interface.’ An SMS API is a software that allows your business to send text messages through an SMS gateway. SMS API integration acts as a bridge between the internet and telecommunications networks, making mass SMS campaigns easy.

How SMS Integrations Work

SMS APIs are a connection between your app to the telecommunications networks. SMS integrations allow you to send and receive text messages from recipients by converting your original message to a format that can be sent over a carrier network or platform.

What about when recipients respond? The SMS API converts the text message back into a format that your web application can understand. This allows you to send personalised messages to customers or automate bulk reminders to keep them engaged with your brand.

How SMS API Integration Can Boost Revenue

SMS messaging API services can help your business improve customer satisfaction, automate customer relationship outreach, and improve your brand’s reliability. Australian SMS API platforms like 160.au can strengthen your company’s revenue streams.

Text messages are typically read within minutes of reaching the recipient, they have a higher open rate when compared to emails, and recipients are more likely to respond to an SMS message than an email or social media ad.
