Email to SMS

It's surprisingly simple! Just compose an email like you normally would, but instead of sending it to a regular email address, you'll send it to a special format that includes the recipient's phone number. Our platform instantly converts your email into a text message and delivers it to their phone. The best part? When they reply, it shows up right back in your email inbox or our unified messaging dashboard. No new software to learn - just use the email skills you already have.

Not at all! That's the beauty of SMS - it works on every phone, from the latest smartphone to a basic flip phone. Your customers receive your messages as regular text messages, and they can reply just like they would to any other text. We handle all the technical stuff behind the scenes. The only thing you need to worry about is crafting messages that connect with your audience.

Great question! Standard text messages have a 160-character limit, but don't worry - we've got you covered. Our system intelligently handles longer messages by either splitting them into multiple texts or trimming them at a natural break point. You can set custom cut-off phrases and decide how you want long messages handled. We'll even show you a preview before sending, so you'll always know exactly what your customers will see.

Absolutely! Our scheduling feature is built for businesses that operate across time zones. Just set when you want your message delivered in your recipient's local time, and we'll handle the rest. Plus, we automatically respect quiet hours (no texts before 8 AM or after 9 PM in their time zone) to keep you compliant with regulations. Schedule your entire week's worth of appointment reminders on Monday morning if you want - it's that flexible.

We've built compliance right into the platform, so you don't have to become a legal expert. Our system includes automatic opt-in and opt-out management - when someone texts 'STOP,' they're immediately removed from your list. We guide you through collecting proper consent, maintaining clean contact lists, and following content guidelines. Plus, we keep detailed records of all consent and communication history, just in case you ever need it.

While others focus on just SMS or require you to learn complex new systems, we've built something that works the way you already do. Start from your email, your CRM, or our dashboard - whatever feels natural. Our AI assists with responses but never traps customers in frustrating loops. Real people can jump in anytime for genuine conversations. Plus, with integrations for Salesforce, HubSpot, Teams, and more, Clerk Chat becomes part of your existing workflow, not another tool to juggle. It's business texting that actually makes sense for how modern teams work.
