Link Tracking
Link tracking enables businesses and users to round out recipient experiences with links to supporting articles, web forms, appointment calendars, product listings, and some much more. Equally importantly, to gauge interest levels, the feature lets administrators track the number of clicks made on a specific link, first and last clicks made, along with the date and time. Also, to account for character limits, when you embed any link in the text through the 360 SMS App, the link automatically gets shortened so that the character limit is not exhausted. Links can also be shortened to an on-brand contraction to instill confidence and encourage recipients to click the link.Batch Texting aka Bulk SMS
As is frequently the case, business operations encounter the need to broadcast bulk messages to users in a shorter time frame. In a pinch like that, nothing compares to a bulk SMS capability. This is all because it cuts down on manual work and time-investment to send messages in bulk. The 360 SMS App lets you send templated bulk SMS once, daily, or monthly in a given period. Better yet, you can take advantage of Bulk Messaging for Objects with Reports if you’re sending out messages to over 2k Leads or Contacts (Report Constituents).SMS From Reports
This feature has revamped enterprise texting by extending SMSes’ functionalities. Usage of SMS From Reports feature is preferable if you’re sending out messages to over 2k Leads/Contacts/(Report Constituents). In ListViews, beyond a certain cap of sending SMSes, you’ll need to select the records one-by-one that makes it quite tedious. But with the help of this feature, you can send millions of messages just in one shot, through reports. Consequently, the feature empowers you to send numerous messages without limiting the number of texts you can send to users.360 iText-SMS Surveying Feature
This feature brings you closer to possibly the best-known way of conducting surveys, live voting, and SMS polls with minimal response times.A favorite at 360 SMS and all the enterprises that use it, this is the only ‘no-code’ text automation that lives up to its name. It’s the ‘fully automatic’ answer to the ‘semi-automatic’ solutions in this space that are really much more work than they’re worth.iText lets you experience the power of intelligent texting, enabling keyword-triggered automated conversations with the customers. Admins can easily configure survey questions, answers, Salesforce actions, and automated responses to assist users with instant replies if the user response contains auto-response keywords. In sharp contrast to this, all its contemporaries in this space are rigid and need custom Process Builder code written each time a survey response needs to be changed or used to trigger an action. This adds substantially to development costs, delays, opportunity loss, and dependence. The prized feature drives down manual work and maximizes time savings.
