How do you send email to SMS text?
The email to SMS gateway is a cheap and convenient way of sending and receiving texts via the email application you are already familiar with.
Here’s how you can configure email to text with our SMS gateway:
- Step #1: Activate texting on your email address by adding it to the allowed list.
- Step #2: Select the content you want to include in the SMS message, as well as maximum length, in the Send & Receive Settings.
- Step #3: Now you are ready to send text to email.
The process is just like sending a normal email. Add the recipient’s address as countrycode [email protected], type your message and click Send.
If anyone replies to your text, you will receive it via email and SMS Chat.
Can I schedule text messages via the email to SMS service?
Textmagic does not offer a scheduling logic for the text to email service, but scheduling should be available directly from your email application, so you can schedule emails to be sent to Textmagic later using your email application. Whenever we receive an email, we will immediately send a text message.
How can I use SMS distribution lists?
You can set-up SMS distribution lists to automatically reach out to multiple subscribers at the same time. Distribution lists can be set-up from the Distribution Lists page.
How can I receive SMS notifications from third-party services using Textmagic?
We recommend that you use a distribution list to receive SMS notifications from third-party services. Please do the following:
- Step #1: Create a distribution list.
- Step #2: Create a rule and organize forwarding to your distribution list email address in Gmail.
- Step #3: When we receive an email from you, we will automatically forward a text message to all recipients in your list.
Can I send SMS messages to multiple recipients at once using email to SMS?
Yes. Textmagic’s Email to SMS feature allows you to send messages to multiple recipients at once. You can include several phone numbers in the "To" field or use a distribution list to send a single message to multiple contacts.
Can I manage and edit the email addresses authorized to send email to SMS?
Yes. You can manage and edit authorized email addresses in Textmagic. To edit an email address:
- Step #1: Go to Services → Email to SMS.
- Step #2: Click the More icon next to the email you want to change.
- Step #3: Select Edit settings and make the necessary updates.
