Text.com — a business SMS/texting platform for two-way conversations with customers — appointment reminders, support, marketing texts. Here's the setup path that avoids the usual mistakes:
Setup, step by step
- Step 1. Install and connect it to the accounts/services it needs to integrate with
- Step 2. Run it on one real task before rolling it out to a full workflow
- Step 3. Check the output against what you'd have done manually the first few times
- Step 4. Once you trust it, fold it into the regular workflow
The one thing to watch for
SMS marketing has real compliance requirements (opt-in, TCPA in the US) — factor that into client setup, it's not just 'add a phone number.'
