Sending a text online is a powerful technique for professional campaigns. It allows you to carry out SMS campaigns that are targeted and impactful, reaching your contacts directly on their mobile numbers.

Send a text from the Internet: all the solutions on the web

The advantage of the web is that you can find a multitude of solutions for sending SMS. These solutions adapt to your specific needs and expectations, allowing you to reach a larger number of contacts on their mobile devices. The associated services for reaching your audience are offered at very affordable prices. You can download browser extensions to send messages both domestically and internationally, directly from your computer. There are also multi-platform applications that allow you to send messages from the device of your choice: your computer, your phone, or even your tablet. This is very useful when traveling or working remotely. This type of application has the advantage of using the web instead of your mobile phone network, which allows you to send unlimited texts. On the web, you also have access to sites specifically dedicated to sending texts to any destination. You must first register on the site to take advantage of its services. Low-cost SMS packages are also available if you wish to send larger volumes. This service is also offered by mobile operators through their customer portals, where you can send a limited number of SMS from your computer.

Send a text via an API

Thanks to the Internet, you can send paid SMS to your customers' mobile phones. For large marketing or commercial campaigns with specific goals, using a professional platform is recommended. Your messages are sent via a reliable and secure solution. Furthermore, you can take advantage of complementary solutions that adapt to your needs, such as email or an API. The API allows you to send your marketing text campaigns directly from your own internal communication tool. Simply integrate it into your tool's code. It has the advantage of being compatible with several programming languages (PHP, Java, C#, etc.). Your developers have access to a tutorial to ensure proper installation. Implementing this application within your existing internal tool opens up new possibilities. You will be able to send mobile texts from your online store, your accounting software, your intranet, etc. Your communication with customers and employees on their mobile devices becomes more instantaneous and responsive. With the Octopush API, you automate your text messaging from your own tool and no longer need to log into the interface to send your texts. Everything happens from your workstation. Plus, you continue to benefit from all the platform's features.

Sending text messages from the web: complying with regulations

Due to its simplicity, ease of use, and speed, using text messaging for professional campaigns has become very common for communicating with customers. However, regulations have been put in place to protect recipients and limit potential abuse or spam. Consequently, sending SMS marketing or commercial campaigns to mobile phones is subject to very strict legislation, which must be respected by professionals as well as web-based text messaging solutions. Each message must be sent to an opt-in database, meaning users who have expressly given their consent to receive communications on their phone number. Furthermore, they must have the right to easily modify or delete their personal data. The Octopush platform complies with these regulations. In every SMS sent from the webinterface, the word STOP is automatically included in the message content to allow your recipients to unsubscribe if they wish. To send text campaigns from the interface, it is mandatory to have valid phone contact details. The platform also respects delivery hours and does not route SMS between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM on weekdays, or on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. Additionally, your data is protected, and your information remains confidential.
