    Owner @ Sunflower MediSpa

    Not only do I LOVE this platform, but the support team is wonderful. A real, and very pleasant person responded quickly when I had a question and worked with me closely to make sure I could accomplish what I was trying to do - even taking the time to do a virtual screenshare meeting with me. Highly recommend!

    I have used many tools over the last 5 years to communicate with my customers over SMS and Clerk has been, by far, the fastest and easiest way to get setup. In no more than 5 minutes I had a phone number connected to a Salesforce channel and was communicating seamlessly with customers.

Helpful Answers

We know there's a lot to learn and read about all that Clerk can do.
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions.

  • YakChat is an application built on the Microsoft Teams platform, designed to facilitate SMS messaging.
  • Since Microsoft's limitations prevent SMS activation on an existing Microsoft Teams phone number, YakChat requires you to either acquire an extra phone number or go through a complex direct routing configuration process.
  • We are unable to comment on Yakchat's security, but it's important to note that the company is located in the UK, and there is a possibility that data may be stored outside of US data centers. Additionally, the security measures have not undergone an evaluation, and there is no evidence of a SOC audit having taken place.
  • YakChat serves as a third-party application integrated with Microsoft Teams, providing SMS functionality.
