We’re thrilled to announce a powerful new feature that’s going to revolutionize the way you communicate with your customers: Recurring SMS. This comprehensive automation system allows you to schedule SMS campaigns that run automatically at regular intervals, saving you time and ensuring your messages reach your audience exactly when they need to.
What is Recurring SMS?
Recurring SMS is an intelligent automation tool that eliminates the repetitive task of manually sending the same messages over and over. Simply set up your campaign once, define your schedule, and let our system handle the rest. Whether you need to send daily updates, weekly promotions, monthly payment reminders, or annual birthday wishes – Recurring SMS has you covered.Think of it as your personal SMS assistant that never forgets, never takes a day off, and always sends your messages on time.
Why We Built This Feature
We listened to your feedback. Many of you told us that you were spending hours every week sending similar messages to your customers – payment reminders, promotional offers, subscription renewals, and more. You needed a way to automate these campaigns without sacrificing personalization or control. That’s exactly what Recurring SMS delivers.
Key Features That Set Us Apart
🎯 Flexible Scheduling Like iPhone Reminders
Forget rigid, predefined schedules. Our system offers iPhone-style flexibility:
- Every 1 Day, 3 Days, 7 Days – you choose the interval
- Every 1 Week, 2 Weeks, or any number of weeks
- Every 1 Month, 3 Months (Quarterly), 6 Months (Half-Yearly)
- Every 1 Year for annual campaigns
The power is in your hands to create exactly the schedule you need.
đź‘Ą Smart Personalization
Send to groups and automatically personalize each message with the recipient’s name using simple placeholders like {{NAME}}. Your customers will feel valued because they receive messages tailored to them, not generic broadcasts.Example:”Hi {{NAME}}, this is your monthly payment reminder…” becomes “Hi John, this is your monthly payment reminder…”
đź“Š Comprehensive Reporting
Every execution is logged with detailed metrics:
- Success and failure counts
- Credits consumed
- Transaction IDs for tracking
