Group Texting and Keyword Texting Now Connected

We're always looking at ways to connect tools together, so we've just completed the first part of connecting Group Texting and Keyword Texting.

With this connection, you can now create keywords and assign them to text message groups as a way of allowing others to sign up via text. They just need to text the keyword to your keyword number, and they will get your created auto response that they are signed up to the text message group for future texts that you send. To connect a keyword to a group, just go to the Keyword Texting Tool where you will see the new options when editing a keyword.

Also, if you're using Keyword Texting, you can now send group text messages from the same number. Just send using the Group Texting Tool as before, but now you can check a box to send from your keyword texting number instead of using an email address.

Bonus News: We will soon be launching have launched the next feature of Keyword/Group Texting connectivity: a new Group Texting Mobile Web App.
