Transactional SMS

Definition

A service text message tied to a specific customer transaction or event.

How it works

Transactional messages relate to an existing user action, such as an order confirmation, rather than promotion. Mobile messages travel through carrier networks and messaging platforms. Channel, encoding, templates and route limits affect delivery, timing and cost.

Business example

A bank confirms an account event or an online shop sends an order reference.

What to consider

Before sending, check recipient consent, contact accuracy, character limits, delivery reporting and a convenient opt-out for marketing messages.
