Twilio / Integrations

Twilio makes it easy for business to send SMS to their clients through their API. This is how they describe themselves:

“We take care of the messy telecom hardware and expose a globally available cloud API that developers can interact with to build intelligent and complex communications systems. As your app’s usage scales up or down, Twilio automatically scales with you. You only pay for what you use – no contracts, no shenanigans.”

If you use Twilio and want to include SMS to your Marketing Automation campaigns, Route can help you with that.
