SMS integration in our platform is the addition of SMS (Short Message Service) capability to our chatbot system. It enables our chatbots to send and receive text messages, allowing businesses to communicate with their consumers via SMS channels. This integration may be used for several applications. For example, businesses can use SMS integration to send order confirmations, appointment reminders, or promotional messages to customers. Additionally, SMS integration can also provide a more convenient and accessible communication channel for consumers who prefer text messaging over other forms of communication.
