Auto Forwarding Instructions

All inbound SMS messages can be automatically forwarded to specific users based on criteria relating to the message properties. For example messages containing a certain string of text or from a certain mobile number can be forwarded to a nominated user or stored in a particular folder.

Auto-forwarding instructions can easily be uploaded from a spreadsheet file.

Intelligent routing will automatically route a received message to the user who last sent a text to the sender. This promotes 2-way texting and allows multiple users to share a single mobile number.
