Extra: SMS to Email

SMS has amazing reach and fast open rates, but it can be hard to get your message across in 160 characters. With SMS to email, you can SMS a link to your contacts that, when clicked, takes them to the online version of an email. This gives them the eye-catching impact of a designed email and the reach of SMS.

In Everlytic, the links in each SMS are tracked, so any personalisation you’ve used when creating your email will reflect in the online version of the email too. This provides a rich and personalised email experience, even without sending to an email address.
