What it is
Textiful collects email addresses and other audience information through SMS keyword campaigns, then can sync collected data to email marketing platforms. Organizations assign a keyword to a phone number, customize campaign messages and prompts, and gather responses by text. For churches and ministries, described uses include collecting information from first-time worshipers, sharing scripture and prayer requests, reminding people about readings and events, sharing donation links, and coordinating staff and volunteers. Messaging features include bulk SMS broadcasts, MMS image texts, Text to Vote polling, and timed drip campaigns. Broadcasts can be sent immediately or scheduled for later, and collected data can be exported at any time. Listed integrations include Mailchimp, ConvertKit, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, AWeber, Campaign Monitor, Constant Contact, Drip, Emma, Infusionsoft by Keap, Salesforce, Simplero, and Sendlane; Zapier connects it to 1,000+ applications. The web service's phone numbers are compatible with carriers in the United States and Canada. The free On Demand plan costs nothing and provides one keyword on a 10-digit number, with message credits bought as needed. Essential costs $19 a month and includes up to 150 captured emails per month, two keywords on 5-digit numbers, and 350 outgoing text messages.
