Adding voice and SMS communication capabilities to your applications plays an important role in creating an optimal customer experience.
Recent research shows that nine out of every ten consumers want to communicate with businesses by text. Programmable APIs make it easy for organizations to add SMS and voice capabilities to applications, increasing speed to market and supporting superior customer engagement.
Rather than dealing with the cost and complexity of external networks, hardware, and carriers, thousands of companies, programmable APIs can be used to facilitate the addition of voice and SMS capabilities for a number of valuable use cases, including:
- Conversational SMS ― Build rapport by facilitating person-to-person conversations through text, including international numbers for more than 40 countries
- Click to call ― Enable embedded calling from applications or web browsers to make calls faster
- Interactive voice response (IVR) ― Build an IVR system to easily route calls using key tones and speech recognition
- Notifications and alerts ― Automate SMS and voice notifications for password resets, account balance, and bill reminders
- Two-factor authentication ― Securely verify users by contacting them with SMS or voice codes
- Call tracking ― Dynamically track call metadata to confidently attribute ROI for every marketing initiative
- Reminders ― Reduce missed appointments by automating SMS and voice confirmations from a CRM or reservation system
- Call transcription ― Turn call recordings into actionable insights for training purposes and compliance safeguards
