LinkInSMS is a solution embedded in the WEL Corporation communication platform which automatically inserts a short URL into an SMS, linking to a personalised webpage of data. The recipient can then view their page of HTML data with a simple tap. Email to LinkInSMS seamlessly converts your email into a webpage, delivering it via SMS.
Today, businesses require timeliness of information, and better customer experience. The LinkinSMS product allows you to connect on a deeper level with internal and external customers by making engagement more informative and personal. The system allows a single SMS page to communicate large amounts of data over the ubiquitous SMS network inexpensively and harmoniously. Of course no code required.
Why the need for a LinkInSMS?
People are shopping, working and living more than ever using their mobile phones. Many people are literally running their business, communicating with mobile workforces, simply via mobile phone. I can literally do anything in our whole operation at WEL Corporation, with just my iPhone. Compound this with the fact that there are over 22 billion IoT devices worldwide ready to communicate something of relevance to the human.
SMS is a proven channel that cuts through to get attention. The statistics prove time and time again, that most SMS are read within minutes. The challenge has been to send more information to people by SMS. Therefore we developed an email to mobile webpage/SMS product, that isn’t costly.
Additionally, personalising an SMS, with an integrated webpage that is specific to your customer or worker is most powerful, and engaging. Integrating HTML with the SMS channel creates an outcome unachievable by email.
What is the use of this?
We wanted more information, one that drives outcomes in business processes. Just about any IoT device, CRM, or application can send an email. We’ve been turning these emails into voice phone calls for a while now with Email to Text to Speech.
Though, depending on the channel that works for the customer or user, in some circumstances it is more efficient and appropriate to send even more information than a phone call can deliver. Think about the business scenario of a critical notification of a hardware failure. An IoT device starts measuring bad performance of hardware, or worse goes offline. It sends an email or a push notification, with a range of engineering data.
At the simplest level, what we can do is turn that email into a webpage, and send it in one SMS. Thus, Email to LinkInSMS in a more timely manner, alerts the manager to a failure in that system by SMS. The linked webpage could include the link to repair or restore the system, and contact details for the vendor. Further it might contain a URL to action the internal ticket to update the organisation stakeholders. And of course anything else that you want to add – up to 16 Mb.
When you combine the no-code user options available to program your user account, you can easily bring intelligent information to the front of your attention.
