  • Thanks to email forwarding, it’s possible to send text messages to your inbox, so there’s no need for a phone number to get started with message extensions. Reply to the email and your customer will receive your message.
  • With auto replies, you can rest assured your customers are engaged when they message you, even if you’re away. Simply set up an automatic message, for example, “Thanks for getting in touch! We’ll respond in a minute.”
